The Tosa Community Food Pantry has been open since 1983, collecting and distributing food to low-income individuals and families in the Wauwatosa area on an emergency need basis. We do not discriminate as to income, sex, race or ethnic origin, and strive to provide our clients with healthy food choices throughout the year, including fresh produce during the growing season.
We are deeply grateful to Wauwatosa Avenue United Methodist Church for welcoming us into its facility and enabling us to continue our mission of feeding those in need. Tosa Community Food Pantry (TCFP) also extends sincere thanks to St. Bernard Congregation for its unwavering support over more than 40 years of operation. Without the generous provision of facilities and resources from these congregations, our work would not be possible.
TCFP also appreciates the ongoing support of Meadowbrook Church, Trinity Episcopal Church, Wauwatosa Presbyterian Church, St. Jude the Apostle Parish, Bethany Calvary United Methodist Church, and St. Pius X Church; as well as Harwood Place, the Wauwatosa Rotary Club, the YMCA, and the many local businesses and individuals in our community who contribute generous food and monetary donations.
Finally, a heartfelt thank-you to our dedicated volunteers, whose time, energy, and commitment make our work possible every day.

Tosa Community Food Pantry would also like to thank Hunger Task Force. Through our official affiliation, Hunger Task Force provides not only a majority of the food resources we distribute to those in need, but also countless other resources for pantry operations for the food insecure in our community. Thank you, Hunger Task Force!

We're also proud to partner with TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program), a federal program that helps supplement the diets of low-income individuals by providing emergency food and nutrition education.
