In this episode we are talking about hunger. Not in some far off place, but right here in our communities - especially the rural small towns here in the Valley. More than 427,000 Wisconsinites have a hard time getting enough food to meet their basic needs, a situation commonly known as food insecurity. That's nearly half a million Wisconsinites who face hunger, including 171,460 children.
Rural Wisconsin depends on local food banks to help cover food struggles, and sometimes those pantries need to get creative. Today we are taking you to one very unique food distribution program called Neighbor-to Neighbor. It was born out of desperate need in Manawa, a rural town of roughly 1,500, in Waupaca County.
