Feed My People Food Bank is actively participating in Hunger Action Month throughout September, a national initiative dedicated to addressing hunger. The organization has set a fundraising goal of $297,750 for this period.
Markquart Motors has provided a significant boost with a $25,000 donation, marking their continued support for the food bank. This contribution aids Feed My People's efforts to serve 14 counties across west-central Wisconsin.
The food bank experienced a historic 11,000 first-time visits in September of the previous year, indicating a substantial and ongoing need within the community. Projections for the coming months are being shaped by these past trends and anticipated changes to SNAP benefits in 2025.
Community engagement is vital, with opportunities for donations and volunteering available. The food bank encourages participation in events like the upcoming Go Orange Day of Service to help pack and prepare orders. These collective actions are essential to ensure food is available for those facing hunger.
