Hunger is a pressing challenge in our community. In Wisconsin, 1 in 8 children experiences hunger, and The Dept. of Public Instruction estimates that there are about 11,000 children who suffer from food insecurity in Waukesha County alone.

Activities

Join Sussex Outreach Services for a meaningful storytime centered on food insecurity, curated for our young changemakers (ages 0–12).

• – Storytime – Children and caregivers will enjoy a read-aloud.
• – Service Project – Together, families will assemble sack lunches that include:
  • – A sandwich (meat and cheese slices, no condiments, wrapped in a plastic bag)
  • – A piece of fruit (orange/clementine, banana, or apple)
  • – Chips
  • – A treat
  • – An inspirational note or care card

Impact

This project will support residents across the Hamilton School District who are struggling with hunger. Your children will learn about food insecurity in an age-appropriate way and that their small hands and big hearts can make a real difference in their community.
