Thanksgiving Baskets Ending Hunger
Our Thanksgiving program offers all the fixings for a lovely Thanksgiving meal to 350 families in the MOM service area. A donation of $15 helps us give a family all of the food they need for a delicious meal.
The 2011 program was sponsored by Shur Fine Foods of Southern Wisconsin and IBS.
