Washington Co., WI – A successful food-packaging event for United Way of Washington County was held Wednesday afternoon at Washington County Fair Park. Over 350 volunteers from local businesses and organizations gathered to take part in filling 60,000 packages of soup and cereal to help people in need.
“This event is a great way to help fight hunger in Washington County where 1-in-14 residents received Foodshare benefits last year,” said Kristin Brandner executive director of United Way of Washington County.
For three hours 33 teams representing 22 local organizations packaged bags of soup and cereal in one of the biggest food drives in Washington County history.
