Tomah Memorial Hospital Foundation Supports Food Outreach Program

A donation from the Tomah Memorial Hospital Foundation will help put healthy food within reach of struggling families.

Officials from the philanthropic arm of Tomah Memorial Hospital have donated five -thousand dollars to the Second Harvest Foodbank’s Food Share program which Second Harvest Foodbank president and C-E-O Dan Stein says will be doubled by the United States Department of Agriculture thereby assisting even more area residents.

Formerly known as food stamps, eligible residents receive a debit like card loaded with Food Share benefits that can be used at most grocery stores.

Since last year, Second Harvest assisted with 83 Food Share applications in Monroe County, which accounted for over 48-thousand meals for food insecure Monroe County residents.

The U-S-D-A estimates that every five-dollars spent in Food Share benefits generates nearly 9-dollars in local economic activity. This past year, the program added more than 240-thousand dollars in economic impact in Monroe County.
