Letter from the President and CEO
January 21, 2025
Dear Friend,
According to recent data from Feeding America, 1 in 11 older Americans are food insecure. These are your neighbors who have worked hard, raised families, and helped build our community.
For our older neighbors living on fixed incomes, every day can bring impossible decisions. Should they purchase their lifesaving medications or buy groceries for the week? Should they keep their heat on during cold nights or stock their pantry? No one — especially those who have given so much to our community over the years — should face such choices.
At Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, we’re committed to ensuring our seniors have reliable access to nutritious food, and we need your support now more than ever. As you read through this online edition of Around the Table, which focuses on senior hunger, I ask you to think about the older adults in your own life. Then consider making your most generous gift today to provide healthy meals to seniors in need.
Remember, every $1 you donate provides 4 meals to your neighbors facing hunger. Your compassion and generosity make a real difference in the lives of our older neighbors. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Patti Habeck
President and CEO
