Hunger Task Force of La Crosse

MYTH: They’re not the same! 👀🥫

A food bank is a central place where food is collected, recovered, stored, and distributed to organizations that help feed their communities. A food pantry distributes that food directly to individuals and families.

The Hunger Task Force of La Crosse is the only Free & Local food bank within 90 miles, and we work with about 120 food pantries, youth programs, and meal sites across 7 counties. 💚

So while food banks and food pantries work together to fight hunger, they each play a different role in getting food to our neighbors who need it. And we couldn't do it without each other! 🙌

🤔 HUNGER MYTH OR FACT?

Let’s see what you know! 👀

A food bank and a food pantry are the exact same thing.

We know it’s still early in the season, but we want to see those deer harvests! 📸 Whether it’s your first deer, your biggest deer, or simply a harvest you’re proud of—drop a photo in the comments and let’s see them! 👇🦌 Share this with a hunter! 🏹

And if you’re fortunate enough to harvest a deer and have more venison than you need, consider sharing your harvest with someone in need through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Deer Donation Program. 🥩💚

Here in La Crosse, St. Joe's Country Market is a participating processor where Wisconsin-harvested deer can be donated. The DNR recommends calling ahead before dropping off your deer to make sure they have space.

A successful hunt can mean more than filling your freezer—it can help fill someone else’s plate, too. 💚
