THANK YOU!

During our “60 Ways in 60 Days” campaign for Feed My People Food Bank, we asked you to match the $5,000 given by our sponsors - thank you for your wonderful response to this challenge!

With these extra funds, Feed My People made special Christmastime deliveries to local food pantries all across the WWIB listening area, and we were honored to accompany them on several of the stops: in Abbotsford, Eau Claire, Cadott, and Whitehall!

We heard many stories: rural counties that have seen a massive increase in hunger because wages can't keep up with inflation, elementary children unable to concentrate on school because their stomachs are growling, homeless men and women looking for any sort of respite from winter's harshness, hard-working parents who feel ashamed that they can't provide...

...but also stories of hope, like a farmer who gives up countless hours in his fields to volunteer at his local pantry, trusting the Lord to provide; smiling faces and kind words given to the homeless, meeting their material needs while also helping them realize their own dignity and worth; students pitching in to serve their classmates in need, and communities coming together to make sure no one goes without.

Your gifts helped encourage these vital local organizations all throughout West Central Wisconsin, reminding them that they are not laboring alone.

Thank you to our incredible business sponsors, and to all of you who prayed for and gave to this campaign!

Your rich generosity helped bring hope to many, and echoed the True Giver!

“60 Ways in 60 Days” 2024!

Almost 80,000. That's how many individuals in the WWIB listening area rely on food from Feed My People Food Bank and their partner programs.

About 1 in every 6. That's the number of children in the WWIB listening area who do not always know where their next meal is coming from. Each year, Feed My People helps ensure that thousands of children, families, and seniors do not go to bed hungry.

Local food pantries throughout Western Wisconsin are actively combating hunger, but they struggle to obtain the necessary resources, especially after another year drastically impacted by inflation. We want to do something about that, through our annual "60 Ways in 60 Days" campaign!

The "60 Ways in 60 Days" matching challenge for Feed My People returns every year, to do all we can for those struggling with hunger right here in West Central Wisconsin.

$1 given = 2 meals!

That’s right, a single dollar given to Feed My People provides 2 MEALS in our communities! By giving two dollars, you could help a family of four eat tonight.

20 generous businesses have teamed up with us to send special Christmas truckloads of food from Feed My People to local food pantries in need. Together, they have donated over $5,000 (10,000 meals!), and are challenging YOU to MATCH and then EXCEED it, so we can together provide 20,000+ meals before Christmass!

Remember to note “WWIB Matching Challenge” in the comments section when you give online, or in the memo line of your check!

These sponsors include:

These leaders in our community have kicked off our drive, and now they're asking you to MATCH and EXCEED what they've given so we can send even MORE special Christmas deliveries!

Will you help us match their $5,000+ gift? Our goal is to reach at least $10,000 total, or 20,000 meals!

Giving isn't easy, and it does take sacrifice. Each day on WWIB, we'll give you examples of little things in your life you can give up in order to share with those in need.

Remember, every single dollar given to Feed My People provides 2 meals…if all of our WWIB listening family gave just one or two dollars, we'd easily reach our goal.

Will you help us?

You can give HERE, safely and securely, and please remember to put "WWIB Matching Challenge" in the comments section!
