 | MOM customer featured on Wisconsin LifeAs told by Wisconsin Life, produced by WPR, "With the holiday giving season over, donations to area food pantries are dropping off - making life harder for folks who are already struggling. That weekly bag of free groceries can make all the difference - especially in this economy. Today, we visit a food pantry run by the Middleton Outreach Ministry, and meet one of their customers." |
Our Stories
Doing All She Can
The drive and heart behind Cynthia Marty's involvement with MOM has a closer tie than just wanting to do good in her community. She believes that helping an organization that does so much good in the community keeps her grounded and reminds her of where she came from.
"When guests come in to MOM, I completely relate because I've been there. Without organizations like MOM I would have gone hungry as a child."
