Food Pantry

Inclement Weather Policy

WayForward’s food pantry will close if the Middleton-Cross Plains School District is closed. If the school district is not in session, we will make a decision about whether to close by 7 p.m. the day before or by 7 a.m. the morning of a closure. Closures will be posted at the top of our website.
