Program Overview

Each month, people across Wisconsin receive assistance from FoodShare to help them purchase food for themselves and their families. This program supports individuals of all ages, including those who are employed but have low incomes, those living on small or fixed incomes, those who have lost their jobs, and those who are retired or disabled and unable to work.

Eligible FoodShare members receive their food benefits on a Quest card, which can be used to shop at approved retailers. There are four ways to apply for Foodshare:

1. Call the Northern IM Consortium at 888-794-5722. The hours are 8:00am-4:00pm, Monday through Wednesday, 11am-4pm on Thursdays, and 8am-2pm on Fridays.
2. Apply online through Access
3. Complete a paper application
4. In-person at the Wood County Human Services Office at the River Block Building or Patriot’s Tower. Call 715-421-8600 to speak with the receptionist to arrange an appointment. Office hours are Monday through Friday 8:00am-4:30pm
