Since the pandemic hit in March: 

• Many of our neighbors are just one missed paycheck away from falling into food insecurity and being forced to make impossible choices between buying food and paying for necessities like rent, utilities, or medicine.
• For families living paycheck to paycheck, the coronavirus disrupting their employment, school or health has forced them from a situation of stability to one of hunger.
• With the impact of the coronavirus, we are seeing a large – 36% – increase in need, with nearly 200,000 additional food-insecure people in Wisconsin. This includes 77,110 children. We anticipate this being the need for the foreseeable future. That’s on top of the half a million already concerned about where their next meal will come from.
  By the end of 2020 1 in 7 of our neighbors will face hunger
• 40% of those accessing our food pantries are first-time visitors.

With the help of listeners like you and our business community, we encourage you to donate what you can.
