BROWNTOWN — Green Cares Food Pantry is holding its second annual fundraiser, Sip, Savor, and Support the Green Cares Food Pantry from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30 at Hawk’s Mill Winery, W8170 Pilz Road, Browntown. Tickets to the event can be purchased online at https://greencaresfoodpantry.weebly.com/ and can be purchased at the event. A ticket purchase includes eight Hawk’s Mill wine tastings (beer and non-alcoholic options are available), a wine glass, hors d’oeuvres and door prizes. Raffles will take place during the event. 

Green Cares Food Pantry, located just outside of Monticello, is currently serving between 250 to 300 Green County households each month with approximately one weeks’ worth of food. Green Cares Food Pantry operates without paid staff, so nearly 92 percent of donations go toward the purchase of food. The remaining 8 percent cover operating costs.

The pantry has recently expanded its services to five area schools, creating weekend food programs for students who elect to receive this service. For those who cannot attend this event and wish to support the pantry, donations can be made to Green Cares Food Pantry, and sent to the pantry at W5198 County Road C, Monticello. Please note the name of school requests in the memo line. Requests will be honored by Green Cares.
