3rd Annual Food Drive: Give Hope.Give Love.Give Food.
The Langlade County Health Department along with the Senior Center of Langlade County are hosting its third annual food drive: Give Hope. Give Love. Give Food. Last year 310 lbs. of food and hygiene products were collected. In Langlade County 19% of children live in poverty and may lack access to healthy foods, according to the County Health Rankings of 2024. Together we can help others in need this holiday season.
The food drive began on December 1, 2024 and continues through December 22, 2024. Each day will have a different food or hygiene item that is needed at the food pantries. At the end of the food drive all donations will be divided up and distributed to the Antigo, Elcho, and White Lake food pantries.
