This photograph depicts the St. Casimir site of the Riverwest Food Pantry, located at the former St. Casimir School. While originally founded by the East Side Housing Action Committee in the 1970s, St. Casimir's parish has provided a permanent home for the pantry since 1979. Along with its Milwaukee Public School Gaenslen Elementary School site, the pantry functions as a non-profit that services the Riverwest neighborhood and outlying communities.
