Hodag Food Wagon returns July 6
The Hodag Food Wagon is open and free to all children and youth with the goal of providing a little extra nutritional support during the summer when food insecurity for kids can increase.
"Our goal is to give families with kids a little boost during the summer. The bags contain healthy, kid-friendly foods. We are excited to host new hours to reach more kids," said Courtney Smith, Rhinelander Area Food Pantry Associate Executive Director.
"Partnering with the Rhinelander District Library is such a good fit. Kids can participate in the summer reading programs and access the services of the library," Smith continued.
The Hodag Food Wagon is a community effort that relies on partnerships between the Rhinelander Area Food Pantry, the YMCA of the Northwoods, the UW Extension FoodWIse program and the District of Rhinelander Library. Along with the bags, FoodWIse will provide fun nutrition education and recipes.
If you would like to learn more or support the Hodag Food Wagon, contact Courtney Smith at the Rhinelander Area Food Pantry at 715-369-7237 or visit rhinelanderareafoodpantry.org.
