“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 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?
