MILWAUKEE (WITI) – Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin launched its Fourth Annual Food for the Holidays campaign on Monday, November 4th. Along with help from Associated Bank, the organization is on a million meal mission to provide one million meals to people struggling with hunger in eastern Wisconsin.
Last year, generous donations helped Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin provide nearly 1.4 million meals to children, families, seniors and individuals struggling with hunger. The lasting effects of the recession have left many families to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table. As a result, Feeding America has experienced a 31% increase in demand for food over the last two years.
Associated Bank is hosting a food drive at its locations across eastern Wisconsin, stop in with a non-perishable food item or make a monetary donation at the teller window. You can also donate online and find ways to help us reach our goal of one million meals at feedingamericawi.org.
