This is why we feed kids at Thanksgiving

 

This is why we feed kids at Thanksgiving:

​Hello everyone,
Growing up in a single-parent, low-income household, I’ll never forget the strangers who showed up with food and gifts during the holidays. Their kindness inspired me to give back.
That’s why I started this project—and thanks to your generosity, in 9 years we’ve raised $106,753.65 and provided 5,555 hams and turkeys to families in need.
We’re excited to share that Wausau Area Food For Hope is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit—which means your donations are tax-deductible. (Email us at wausauareafoodforhope@gmail.com if you need a receipt.)
Let’s keep spreading hope—one meal at a time. Thank you for being part of this mission.
