Together We Are Distributing Prime Products

As part of Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin’s Direct Connect Program, we’ve been lucky to get a lot of quality foods from grocers over the years. But more recently, we have also started to receive products from the local Amazon distribution center. It’s been a blessing for us and our community that this connection was made by the food bank. Twice a week, Bernie (a driver from Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin) picks up donations from Amazon and brings them to us. They donate the product because their inventory numbers are high and their hearts are big. They
know they can help the local community they serve while freeing up space on the shelves. This is great for us, because the product is really fresh! It’s not the date that causes them to
donate it, it’s the space.

Each delivery brings a wide variety of items—which our community loves—including delicious foods like pasta, rice, fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, beef, pork, chicken, pizza, and more! In a word, I would describe the food as “excellent.” And working with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin on this program has been excellent, too. We distribute through a group of pantries and mobile distributions in Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties. Thanks to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and Amazon, we are getting more
food to more people.
