Fond du Lac, Wisconsin
If you're looking
for hope, this is it.
Hope on the Block provides free food, hygiene supplies, and community meals to neighbors in need — every week, year-round, no questions asked.
Who We Are
Community care,
right on the block.
Hope on the Block serves our community by providing essential items and resources at no cost to those in need. Our community pantries are stocked and accessible 24/7, year-round — so support is always there when someone needs it.
We launched our first pantry in August 2022 in front of the Fond du Lac Public Library. Since then, we've grown to three pantry locations, a weekly Friday Meal serving around 80 people, and the Hamilton Park Community Garden.
