Join Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin on Thursday, April 11, at 5 p.m. at Fiserv Forum in Downtown Milwaukee for the 18th Annual Grateful Plate Gala. This annual formal event celebrates the progress we have made in the fight against hunger in Wisconsin – and showcases our commitment to future growth and innovation within our 35-county service area. The night’s festivities will include a pre-dinner cocktail party, silent auction, and a plated dinner and will conclude with inspirational video packages highlighting the immense impact Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin’s programs have had on our neighbors in need.

What makes Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin the leading local organization on food-security and nutrition?

Our programs address both emergency needs, and root causes of hunger. We believe that access to food is a human right. Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is not a specific box or a building. Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is a network of stakeholders that provides groceries for near 500,000 Wisconsinites. We are logistics experts. We are policy wonks. We are foodies.
