🏘️ Community
FoodShare members who lost food due to power outages can request replacement benefits by contacting their agency online or by phone within 10 days of the loss.
Members may need to provide documentation (e.g., utility or fire department records) unless a state of emergency has been declared.
Ruby’s Pantry at New Hope Church in Wausau will end pantry events after its Minnesota headquarters directed a shutdown of pop-up sites, canceling the April 7 distribution and all future events; organizers thanked volunteers for eight years (since 2018).
More than 14,700 people remain without power after an ice storm that earlier left over 60,000 customers affected, with Portage County experiencing the worst outages.
