Medford's pantry story is one of survival: when Indianhead Community Action's Taylor County Food Pantry faced closure in fall 2025, volunteers kept it going — and in January 2026 the Taylor County Food Pantry moved to a new home at 159 S. Whelen Ave, celebrating with a spring ribbon-cutting.
The Taylor County Food Pantry — New Location
The volunteer-driven pantry now operates from 159 S. Whelen Ave (older listings show 508 S 8th St — that's the previous site). Posted hours run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 8:30 a.m.–2 p.m., with no ID required to qualify per the Indianhead Community Action listing; the pantry's Facebook page describes drive-up service and reaches volunteers at (715) 415-2457.
Feed My People's Commitment
When the ICAA pantry closures in Rusk and Taylor counties were announced for September 2025, the Feed My People food bank in Eau Claire publicly committed to continued hunger relief in both counties — the local volunteer takeover and the January move are the result. Taylor County's UW-Extension food resource guide tracks the county's full list of programs, and Wisconsin 211 checks current schedules.
