🐾 Paws successfully lent! 🐾
We spent the morning with students and staff at the School District of Bonduel High School for their Lend a Paw Day activities. Students learned about food insecurity in our service area, including ALICE families (through United Way), the important work of local food pantries (Bonduel Community Food Pantry), how food insecurity can compound with housing challenges (Shawano Area Matthew 25), and how these issues uniquely impact youth (Foundations Youth Services).
After the presentation, students jumped into action—packaging meals for Bonduel Food Pantry clients and assembling 350+ hygiene kits to be distributed through the Shawano-Menominee Food Coalition in the coming months!
A huge THANK YOU to today’s funders and item donors: Wisconsin REALTORS Association (and Donna Hobscheid, Realtor, Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group for the nomination), Elizabeth Street Business Complex, Shawano Family Dentistry, Safe Haven of Shawano County, and Foundations Youth Services.
United is the way we educate the leaders of tomorrow to tackle the tough issues of today!
