Beyond Blessed Pantry

Beyond Blessed Pantry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit food pantry established in 2018 that serves over 3,000 households monthly across southern Wisconsin from its location at 1101 Lake Street in Baraboo. Founded by executive director Shannon Howley with a mission to treat every individual with dignity and respect while addressing food insecurity, the pantry operates as a volunteer-driven organization requiring approximately 385 volunteer hours weekly and recently moved into a 24,000-square-foot facility after receiving $1.5 million in community donations from supporters including the Cherney Family Foundation.
