Fund Food for Thought
Promotional Toolkit

Sheboygan County Food Bank launched its Fund Food for Thought crowdfunding campaign to rally the community to raise $100,000 for Food for Thought for Kids and make sure 500 kids don’t go hungry on the weekends during the 2024-2025 school year. A crowdfunding campaign funds a project or program, relying heavily on supporters (individuals, companies, and organizations) to help donate and spread the word. Our campaign page is the hub for donating and seeing the goal progress. Read our press release to learn more.

There are a lot of ways to help keep the momentum going and get us closer to 500 kids being nourished, healthier, better able to learn, cared for, and more likely to escape the cycle of poverty. Stay in the loop by following us on Instagram, Facebook, and X (Twitter),  and see ways to help below.
