It’s okay to ask for help.

Serving Our Neighbors with Dignity and Hope
At Project Concern of Cudahy-St. Francis, we believe that no one in our community should have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table.
For over 50 years, we have stood as a vital safety net, providing essential resources to individuals and families facing financial hardship.
Who We Are
We are a non-profit emergency assistance program rooted in the heart of Cudahy. We aren’t just a food pantry; we are a community of volunteers, donors, and neighbors helping neighbors. We serve residents of Cudahy and St. Francis, offering a bridge of support during life’s most challenging moments.
What We Do
Our mission is to provide more than just “help”—we provide stability.
Through our dedicated programs, we offer:
Food Assistance: Nutritional support including fresh produce, dairy, meat, and shelf-stable goods.
Personal Care & Household Items: Essential hygiene products and cleaning supplies often not covered by other assistance programs.
Emergency Clothing: Access to our “Clothes Closet” for families and individuals in need of seasonal attire.
Community Connection: Referrals and resources to help our patrons navigate long-term paths to self-sufficiency
We’re Looking Forward To Seeing You!
It’s important to remember that there is nothing wrong with asking for help. In a culture that often prizes self-sufficiency, seeking support can sometimes feel like a sign of weakness, but the reality is quite the opposite: it’s a demonstration of strength, self-awareness, and courage. Everyone faces challenges, whether they’re personal, professional, or emotional, and trying to navigate every difficulty alone is an unsustainable and unnecessary burden. By reaching out to others— like a Food Pantry —you not only gain diverse perspectives and practical solutions, but you also open yourself up to valuable connections and mutual growth. Acknowledging a need and taking the active step to address it is a powerful move toward well-being and success. We’re truly looking forward to helping you!
