An organization that distributes culturally-relevant and nutritious food to partner organizations to ensure that no one in Sheboygan County goes hungry has received $50,000 towards that effort. That substantial donation was presented to the Sheboygan County Food Bank by the board of directors of “Making Spirits Bright”, an effort begun 12 years ago by the three Rotary Clubs of Sheboygan County. Collections are made at the drive-through light show that annually decorates Evergreen Park during the holidays.
The check presentation was done by Making Spirits Bright’s steering committee chair, Dave Hoffman, during the Sheboygan Rotary’s Good Citizen of the Year Dinner last week. Liz Kroll, founder of the Food Bank, was this year’s recipient.
Over the past 12 years, Sheboygan County Food Bank trucks have moved over 1.1 million pounds of food donated by those touring the exhibit. The special $50,000 donation was made possible by the generosity of the some 73,000 visitors to the event, and will help fund a truck to replace the well-used vehicle that has now outlasted its days, and raises to $205,000 the total donated to date by Making Spirits Bright.
