ABOUT US
Beyond Blessed Pantry was established in August 2018 as a 501(c)3 corporation. Our mission is to “Treat every individual with dignity and respect while addressing the food insecurity issues at hand.”
What had started as a community outreach, once a month mobile pantry serving Baraboo, Lake Delton, Wisconsin Dells, and surrounding areas has grown quickly. In 2016 Beyond Blessed (formerly Bridgepoint) Pantry assisted over 2,000 households. At our current pace in 2025 we anticipate serving over 34,000 households this year!!!
On January 10th, 2025 we closed on a new property to manage our growth. This amazing facility that we were blessed with has allowed us to enhance our operation and capacity significantly. Owning our own facility is amazing-it comes with great opportunity and responsibilities. We are excited about the opportunity to continue to build capacity and serve this great community.
Due to our commitment to continue to serve without judgement (No paperwork, residency requirements, income questions, limitations of frequency of visits) we do not qualify for government assistance and rely solely on private grants and donations from individuals and organizations.
We are partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank in Madison, Wisconsin to supply much of the discounted and wholesale-priced food. All of our food and supplies are supplied by donations and purchases with donated funds.
We train all-volunteer staff. Each week of service requires about 385 volunteer hours. Each week we utilize over 100 people. Please feel free to visit our volunteer page.
Board Members of Beyond Blessed have committed Christ followers who are motivated to love and serve the community.
