In Wisconsin\, 1 in 8 children experiences hunger\, and in Milwaukee Coun ty nearly 1 in 5 households struggles with food insecurity. In the City of Milwaukee\, more than 1 in 4 children face daily food insecurity.\n\nJust One More Ministry (JOMM)\, based in Glendale\, rescues excess food from r estaurants\, caterers\, and suppliers\, and redistributes it to shelters\, food pantries\, and families in need. With their regular food streams dis rupted\, JOMM is turning to the community for support. Bagged lunches are especially helpful because they are simple to prepare\, easy to distribute \, and can be delivered quickly to those who need them most.\nActivities\n Children and caregivers will enjoy a read-aloud of Maddi's Fridge to hel p the kids understand the importance of the lunches they will be packing. Next\, we will assemble bagged lunches that include:\n\n - A sandwich (me at and cheese slices\, no condiments\, wrapped in a plastic ziplock)\n - A piece of fruit\n - Chips\n - A treat\n - An inspirational note\n\nImp act\nThis project will support residents across Greater Milwaukee who are struggling with hunger and help children learn about food insecurity in an age-appropriate way. We will show kids that their small hands and big hearts can make a real difference in their community.\nWhen &\; Where\n Thursday\, October 30 from 10-11 a.m.\n\nWhitefish Bay Library - Program R oom\n5420 N.
