- Organizers coordinated with Hunger Task Force, Feeding America, Trader Joe's and Metcalfe Park Community Bridges after months of planning.
- Staff expected to supply enough food for about 250 households, estimated at roughly 600 people.
- Guests also received hygiene supplies, with free health screenings provided by Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin.
