Food pantry fundraiser returning, and volunteers are welcome

Volunteers at Family Sharing of Ozaukee County.

The bank is once again raising funds to fight hunger in Wisconsin. As part of the Bank on Kindness community goodwill program, we’re inviting the public to donate money to any of nine local food pantries at give.mastercard.com/p/northshorebank, from Monday, February 7 through Sunday, February 20. The bank will match up to $500 in donations to each pantry.

This month, you can win a $75 gift card by sharing one of the bank’s social posts. Tell your network how to help our food pantries on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn.

Last year, we collected over $23,000 for nine pantries. The bank will announce this year’s fundraising drive on Monday. To get the donation link starting then, people can also text Kindness to 77938.

The nine pantries we’ve partnered with are Family Sharing of Ozaukee County, Food Pantry of Waukesha County, Grace Welcome Center in Kenosha, Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Christian Center, Paul’s Pantry in Green Bay, Racine County Food Bank, St. Joseph Food Program in Menasha, and Sussex Outreach Services.

If you’re interested, volunteer opportunities are available at Grace Welcome Center, Hunger Task Force, and St. Joseph Food Program. To get involved, just email marketing support specialist Sheri Livermore by end of day Wednesday, February 9.
