Rebuilding After Hard Times

Published On: July 6th, 2022Categories: Post, Stories of Hunger

Dawn has always worked and was able to afford what her family needed. She never expected to face hunger. But like so many other families, when the pandemic began, she lost her job. It didn’t take long before she couldn’t make ends meet.

Dawn’s story is like so many stories here in Wisconsin of families who are still putting the pieces back together because of the lasting effects of the pandemic.

A mom to five kids — three of whom still live at home — Dawn has a lot on her plate already. Wondering how to pay the bills and still buy the healthy food her family needed only made her situation more challenging.

Thankfully, she learned about a mobile pantry in her community that could help her and her kids. She and her family were able to quickly and safely receive plenty of fresh produce, milk, and protein to ensure they had nutritious food while Dawn worked to get back on her feet.

And knowing that she can turn to programs like these in hard times means so much.

Dawn is so grateful to supporters like you who make the help she receives possible.

Friends like you make all the difference for families who are facing hunger, and right now, your support goes twice as far. Thank you!
