Dear Friend,

Summer is in full swing, but fall is just around the corner. The new school year will be starting soon, bringing excitement and new routines.

Sadly, for many of our Eastern Wisconsin neighbors, food insecurity and hunger are part of that routine. As the cost of food remains elevated, our neighbors continue to struggle to afford the nutritious food they need to stay nourished and healthy.

Some children will start receiving free meals when they go back to school, easing the challenge families face in providing extra meals at home during the summer. But we still have weeks before that happens, and children need a steady source of vitamins and nutrients to grow, develop, and thrive. And they’re not the only ones experiencing hunger and hardship right now.

But thanks to you and your tremendous support, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin can provide the nutritious meals our neighbors need. I hope you enjoy this edition of Around the Table and are reminded of the vital difference your support makes to families in our community.

Then, I hope you’ll consider giving to help even more neighbors. When every $1 provides 4 meals, you can change countless lives this summer and provide a strong start to the school year.

Sincerely,

Patti Habeck
President and CEO
