Klaud's Food Pantry open 7am-9pm every day Klaud's Pantry is in loving memory of Chef Klaudia Crawford, former owner and operator of Klaud's Kitchen. Klaud's life was cut short by cancer in May of 2017. She found great joy in her life's work and was never happier than when she was creating something in the kitchen. With this Pantry, we feel sure she would find "great joy" in knowing that others are being provided for in her memory. You can find canned goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products, paper products, and hygiene items available daily. The doors are open from 7:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night. Come in and take what you need. No questions asked. Everybody is welcome. We are members of the Door County Food Pantry Coalition . Please take what you need, or bring what you can. Blessings to all.
