In a groundbreaking move, Agnes' Table & Community Center (ATCC) has announced a strategic partnership with the Chippewa Falls YMCA and Trinity United Methodist Church. This collaboration aims to enhance service delivery and further ATCC's mission of addressing food insecurity within the local community.

Transforming Lives, One Meal at a Time

Transitioning Dinner Services to Trinity United Methodist Church

Starting September 3rd, 2024, ATCC will be transitioning its dinner services to Trinity United Methodist Church, located at 201 W Central St, Chippewa Falls. The dinner service hours will be from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM, providing the community with a warm and nourishing meal. Additionally, social hours will commence at 3:30 PM, fostering a sense of community and connection among the guests. Attendees will also have the opportunity to take away a sack breakfast and lunch, ensuring they have access to essential sustenance throughout the day.

Relocating the Food Pantry to the Chippewa Falls YMCA

Complementing the dinner service changes, the food pantry operations will be relocated to the Chippewa Falls YMCA at 611 Jefferson Ave, Chippewa Falls. Starting September 4th, the food pantry will be open on Mondays from 9 AM to NOON, Wednesdays from 3 PM to 6 PM, and Fridays from 11 AM to 1 PM. This strategic move will make the food pantry more accessible to the community, providing a centralized hub for individuals and families in need to obtain essential food items.

By leveraging their respective resources and expertise, these partners are poised to enhance the delivery of services and amplify the impact on addressing food insecurity in the region. This innovative approach demonstrates a shared commitment to empowering the community and ensuring that no one is left behind.

Expanding Reach and Impact

The relocation of services and the strategic partnerships forged by ATCC will enable the organization to reach a wider audience and deepen its impact on the community. By utilizing the facilities and resources of the Chippewa Falls YMCA and Trinity United Methodist Church, ATCC can optimize its operations, streamline service delivery, and ensure that its programs are accessible to a greater number of individuals and families in need.

Fostering Holistic Well-being

Beyond the provision of meals and food pantry services, this collaborative effort aims to address the multifaceted aspects of food insecurity. By integrating social hours and the opportunity to take away sack breakfasts and lunches, ATCC is recognizing the importance of addressing the broader needs of the community. This holistic approach seeks to not only alleviate immediate hunger but also to support the overall well-being and self-sufficiency of those facing food insecurity.
