WayForward Resources

WayForward Resources brings our community together to create food and housing security through action and advocacy. Our vision is a community where everyone has the stability to thrive. Thanks to generous community support and partnership, we serve more than 5,000 people in our community each year. We provide access to nutritious food and support that allows people to stay in their homes. Our case managers partner with clients to solve immediate needs and work toward their long-term goals.

• Our food pantry is open to all Dane County residents.
• People can access the pantry as often as they need, five days a week.
• We also provide food to families and individuals through deliveries, mobile food pantries and partnerships with the Middleton-Cross Plains School District.

Housing Stability

• Our service area for housing programs includes Middleton, Cross Plains and west Madison.
• We provide case management, referrals, and housing stability assistance.
• Our housing stability programs focus on providing critical support to keep families in their homes so they avoid the trauma of homelessness.

Other Programs
