How WE Can Help YOU
The BRICK helps people in need in Ashland and Bayfield Counties. If you need food, personal care items, local transportation, clothing, emergency help with utilities, shelter, or rent, help from some other agency, or community service hours; The BRICK is a good place to start.
We maintain strict confidentiality.
Food Shelf Program
The BRICK’s pantry program provides an assortment of food items, both fresh and non-perishable, to eligible households in Wisconsin. Participants may visit The BRICK’s Food Shelf once each month, receiving three to five days’ worth of groceries. This is supplemental food, which The BRICK obtains from partners such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), Second Harvest Northland Food Bank, local grocery stores, Feeding America partners, and donations from area churches, community organizations, and individuals.
Benevolence Program
The BRICK’s mission is to help people in need, providing compassionate, respectful help to families and individuals facing emergencies and crisis. The Benevolence Manager works one-on-one with Ashland and Bayfield County residents who need short-term aid. Together, they determine a plan, establish a workable budget, and set goals that will assist the family to move forward and avoid financial shortfalls in the future.
