Want to Donate?

Donations can be brought to the Veteran Marketplace during regular business hours. There is an after-hours bin, next to the pantry warehouse, where non-perishable foods can be donated in the evenings or weekends. We are no longer able to take donations of used furniture or clothing due to our limited storage capacity.

If you would like to have a food drive to benefit the Veteran Marketplace, please contact the Marketplace Director at 262-800-1309.
