FMP ends Eau Claire pop-ups, announces local food support

EAU CLAIRE — Feed My People Food Bank has announced the end of regular pop-up distributions in Eau Claire, but says food support to partner pantries in the area will strengthen local efforts. Executive Director Padraig Gallagher said the decision was made earlier than planned, due to a change in access to a neighboring property. This change will only affect distributions held onsite at their Eau Claire facility. He said efforts to reduce the number of distributions through their Eau Claire facility began in the second half of 2026. “And we intended to end regular distributions at the end of the year while maintaining the ability to provide emergency or response distributions if there was another food share freeze,” he said. “If there was any sort of community emergency or if getting food out would have been necessary, we were going to. “The biggest reason for that is we wanted to use our facility to focus on supporting the other pantries and programs that we support here in Eau Claire and throughout our 14 county region.” Amid the changes, FMP also announced they would be providing $12,000 in additional food support to 20 partner pantries.
