In Wisconsin, 1 in 10 households are struggling with hunger, impacting people of all ages from children to older adults. Food pantries across Wisconsin are still reporting increased demand alongside lower-stocked shelves as pandemic-related benefits end and food prices continue to increase due to inflation.
Just One More Ministry (JOMM), located in Glendale, is an organization that rescues excess food from area restaurants, food suppliers, and caterers and redistributes it to over 90 shelters, food pantries, and more than 6,000 community members in need every week. We have been packing lunches monthly for Just One More Ministry for the past four years. We are excited to invite your kids to see another aspect of their work.
Activities
JOMM truck filled with outreach bags will be stationed in the back parking lot at the Mitchell Park Domes. Your family will be grabbing pre-packed outreach bags from the truck and delivering them to cars in an organized fashion, supporting more than 200 families facing food insecurity.
Impact
Our kids will have the opportunity to share a smile while serving critical nourishment to Milwaukee neighbors. They will grow in awareness of their capability to help others when the community needs it most.
