Tackling Hunger With AJ Dillon
Dear Friends,
The State of Wisconsin has embraced me and my family since I was drafted here in 2020. Every time I take the field or prepare for a workout, I think about our fans and their dedication to the team. That’s why, in every play, every carry, and every rep, I put forth as much effort as humanly possible.
But I also want fans to know that their endless dedication to the team is the same energy I strive to put back into the community.
Last summer I partnered with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin for a Healthy Kids Healthy Summer initiative, and we came together to provide more than 750,000 local meals for neighbors in need.
We are extremely grateful for your generosity and can’t wait to do it again.
You read that right. This summer, we are running it back.
I am happy to announce that my wife, Gabrielle, and I are back with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin for Healthy Kids Healthy Summer 2023, and together we are going to provide as many meals as possible for our community.
Did you know that statewide, 1 in 6 children don’t know where their next meal is coming from? While school is out for the summer, there are kids without direct access to school-provided meals. Healthy Kids Healthy Summer will bridge that gap and make sure that no matter the circumstance, all kids receive proper nutrition.
Summer is for riding bikes, hanging out at the park, and making lifelong memories with friends. It’s not for stressing about whether or not there is food on the table at home. Together, we will make sure kids have the fuel they need to just be kids.
Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin works directly with local pantries, farmers, growers, and grocers to help families in our neighborhood make ends meet. We couldn’t be more excited to help make a difference once again.
Thank you, Wisconsin, for your incredible support in so many ways.
