Get help with grocery costs.

You deserve good food.

If you’re feeling the squeeze from reduced SNAP benefits, you’re not alone. Madison Grocery Share connects folks who can help with those who need a hand — no judgment or jumping through hoops. Just neighbors helping neighbors.

We're not a food pantry, and we could never replace the incredible work they do. If you need food help right away, start there first. Madison Grocery Share is simply one more option: a small, neighbor-to-neighbor project that helps fill the cracks when pantry hours, transportation, or supplies make things tricky.

How to find a neighbor

Fill out the request form, and we’ll do our best to match you with a neighbor in your area. We're a small group of volunteers, not a formal organization, and we can't guarantee match availability or turnaround time.

Asking for help takes courage. You’re part of a community that believes everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food, and we’re glad you’re here.
