Badger Prairie Needs Network

Badger Prairie Needs Network (BPNN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Verona, Wisconsin, dedicated to fighting poverty and ending hunger throughout Dane County. Operating since 1986 and run entirely by volunteers, BPNN manages one of the county’s three busiest food pantries, offering a grocery-style selection where guests can choose fresh produce, dairy, and proteins, along with community meals, workforce development, and on-site social worker support. The organization recently secured funding for a major expansion project to add 12,000 square feet of warehouse space to enhance food pantry operations and future community services.
