Ethel Nutis Gill Family Resource Center
COA’s Ethel Nutis Gill FRC, located in Milwaukee’s Amani neighborhood, engages the community and uses resident input to best meet the needs of the surrounding community. Gill FRC initiatives include a community food pantry, a community health worker to refer families to vital resources, an Advocate Aurora medical clinic in partnership with UW Health, and family-oriented community events celebrated year-round. During the Summer, we partner with Hunger Task Force to help provide Summer Meals every weekday at Mood Park.
COA’s Food Pantry at the Goldin Center
Since 2018, COA has partnered with Hunger Task Force to alleviate food insecurity in the heart of the city through our community food pantry at our Goldin Center in Milwaukee's Amani neighborhood!
COA’s food pantry serves approximately 200 people per month. Located within Milwaukee’s largest food desert, the food pantry continues to provide a growing number of families with access to healthy food.
This one-of-a-kind food pantry opens doors for families to connect to all the other resources and programs that COA has to offer.
COA is grateful for our strong partnership with Hunger Task Force, Feeding America, grocery stores, and the wider community to keep our shelves stocked. Thanks to this vital support, the food pantry continues to grow and thrive.
