Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is kicking off its annual Healthy Kids, Healthy Summer campaign, in partnership with Meijer.
Healthy Kids, Healthy Summer is a three-month fundraising and awareness campaign aimed at providing nutritious meals to children in Eastern Wisconsin while school is out for summer break.
The Healthy Kids, Healthy Summer campaign helps support 600 hunger relief partners and community programs across 35 counties that provide essential nutrition to children and families during times of the year when the need is greatest.
Every dollar donated during the campaign will be matched by the Schmerein Heaney Family Fund and the Heaney Family Fund within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region.
Beyond its summer campaign efforts, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is also collaborating with school districts and parents in its service area to expand and enhance the way summer meals are provided to children.
Additionally, the organization continues to support the implementation of innovative programs in rural school districts to support families with limited access to grocery stores. Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is steadily working to expand its online ordering program, Mindful Meals, to reach more families through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee.
Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin distributes over 40 million pounds of food annually across 35 counties. For more information, visit FeedingAmericaWI.org/Summer
