Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin Earns Grant
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 10/10/2016

Feeding American Eastern Wisconsin announced a $50,000 grant from the Morgan Stanley Foundation to fund its School Pantry program, a child hunger initiative that helps to make sure low-income families have a readily accessible source of healthy and nutritious food to prepare at home.

The grant is part of the group's recently announced $8 million, four-year pledge to support Feeding America, a nationwide network of 200 food banks, and its children's hunger and produce programs.

"We are thrilled to receive this important grant from the Morgan Stanley Foundation in support of our efforts to deliver more nutritious meals to children and families in Milwaukee," said Charles McLimans, President/CEO of Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. "Morgan Stanley and its employees provide vital support for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin by generous contributions like this and many hours volunteering."

Since the firm's partnership with Feeding America launched in 2009, the Foundation has given over $21 million, including $175,000 to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin.
