A local food pantry is getting some help to bring food to Manitowoc County families in need.
Kohler Credit Union is building on its partnership with Manitowoc’s Grow It Forward by donating $7,500 to sponsor Holiday Meal Boxes.
The program will provide over 125 families in the area with food for Thanksgiving, with items such as turkey and stuffing.
Additionally, Kohler Credit Union will be providing volunteers to help prepare and distribute the boxes as part of the credit union’s Here for the Holidays, Here for Life campaign.
Grow it Forward CEO Amber Daugs said of the partnership, “For the families we serve, they mean one less worry and one more reason to celebrate together. It’s an incredible example of what happens when a community comes together to care for its own.”
In addition to supporting Grow It Forward, the credit union has recently funded a new freezer for the Ozaukee Food Alliance, and KCU employees volunteer year-round at the Sheboygan County Food Bank’s Food for Thought program.
