Last month’s Holiday Lights Hunger Run/Walk put on by the Sheboygan County Food Bank has been deemed a major success.
In fact, according to the organization, $80,000 was raised by 2,328 participants, which is a record for the food bank.
82 groups and teams participated on the cold windy evening, including a group of 119 participants from Johnsonville.
In a news release, the Sheboygan County Food Bank stated, “This year’s fundraiser success is especially important as the rising cost of living has made it even more difficult for many in our community to make ends meet. Right now, we’re serving about 4,215 families each month, which is 50% more families than we served on average each month in 2021.”
