The Roundy’s Foundation recently delivered more than $46,000 in food and money to food pantries in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties as part of its bi-annual food tour in which the foundation delivers thousands of pounds of food to 50 food pantries in five days.
Each pantry on the tour received nearly 3,000 pounds of food valued at $4,100 and a $500 check to purchase perishable food items. Local food pantries that were helped included: New Horizon Center, Bethany Church, Florist Avenue Lutheran Church, Hope Lutheran Church, Emmaus Lutheran Church, Unique Social Concern Services, Oconomowoc Food Pantry, Hartland Area Food Pantry, Pewaukee Food Pantry, and Holy Assumption Church Food Pantry.
Bango, the Milwaukee Bucks mascot and the Bucks’ Energee dance team also joined in on the fun.
