2020 Food Gathering Sundays!

On Sunday May 3rd, 2020 Tosa Cares organized a contactless drive-thru food gathering event at Mt Zion. We had 60 cars, 2 firetrucks, 2 strollers, and 2 bikes drive-thru to drop off donations! Thank you to the Tosa FD for dropping off donations and assisting with carrying donations!

May 3rd was such a great success that we're scheduled for another event on Sunday, May 17th. Please help us spread the word about this great opportunity to help those in need in our community!

Details and instructions for contactless drop-off on May 17th

Please bring your food donations to Mt Zion, 12012 W North Ave, Wauwatosa.

Stay Safe: Drive up, leave your box on the tables outside, drive away.

Tosa Cares and COVID-19

April 25th distribution event: CANCELLED.

Due to the spread of COVID-19 and social distancing measures, our April 24th-April 25th distribution event is cancelled. No food will be distributed at that time. Mt. Zion Lutheran Church is closed. Instead, food will be distributed by drive-thru only on other days. Due to the logistics of organizing such an event, appointments will be required.

Please call, text, or email to leave a message to schedule a food pick up. Appointments will be scheduled over several weeks. We will be happy to provide your household with a food box.

Volunteers needed for the CP Holiday Train!

The CP Holiday Train will arrive in Wauwatosa on Tuesday, December 3rd and we are in need of volunteers to assist with the collection of donations of food and money.  Volunteers will work in pairs to push a decorated grocery cart and gather donations from those attending the event.  Volunteers will be needed from 3:30 to about 5:00pm.  This is an excellent opportunity for families as well as high school youth.

Sign up to collect food and money donations using THIS LINK!

Tosa Cares is fortunate to be the recipient of the donations collected as a part of the Holiday Train event.  Assistance will be needed in the days following the Holiday Train to sort, box and shelve the many pounds of donations.  Individuals and groups are encouraged to sign-up for a shift between Wednesday, December 4th and Saturday, December 7th.
