 Homebound is a program for residents who are unable to shop at the pantry each week. These clients are screened by Madison Social Services. The clients fill out a "shopping list" each week and their request is filled by MCS Pantry volunteers. The drivers are provided by N2N and the food is provided by Madison Community Services Food Pantry. Their groceries are delivered each week.
