With the government shutdown putting a pause on federal food aid, families right here in Milwaukee are feeling the strain. Our local food banks and pantries are stepping up — but they can’t do it alone.
That’s why Jammin’ 98.3 is coming together for Feeding Milwaukee Live!
Join us this Wednesday at 10 AM at Northcott Neighborhood House — 2460 North 6th Street.
We’ll be collecting food and monetary donations to help restock their pantry and support the families who need it most.
You’ll also be able to get information on how to receive food assistance if you or someone you know needs help.
And as a special thank you, we’ll be giving away tickets to see New Edition, Boyz II Men, and Toni Braxton at Fiserv Forum!
