Your Support Makes Meals and Provides Hope

We are thankful for the generous support of hundreds of caring individuals, businesses and our sponsors. Amid rising prices, stagnant wages and job losses that have created an even greater need for many families and senior citizens to reach out for help, your support is needed more than ever. Your donations:

• Provide help available for a family living paycheck to paycheck so they don’t have to choose between needed medical care and food.
• Ensure more children arrive at school ready to learn because they have had a filling breakfast.
• Bring peace of mind to senior citizens who are given a hot meal – a lifeline in the face of rising prices for food, heat and healthcare while their incomes remain fixed.

The History

The NBC15 Share Your Holidays to eliminate hunger campaign began in 1996 through the efforts of late NBC15 News Anchor Mike McKinney and NBC15 management. They teamed up with Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin and the Wisconsin National Guard to collect enough food and funds from the community to provide 46,000 meals to those in need. Fourteen years and more than 19 million meals later, NBC15 Share Your Holidays is the largest food and fund drive in southwestern Wisconsin. In 2009, 2.8 million meals were raised. Added in 1997, the School Food Drive helps students become more aware of hunger in their community and make a difference in the lives of those in need by sharing and volunteering.
