Attendees will walk away with tips, tools, and techniques that canbe applied on the job immediately from “The Lady on the Harley©.”

Community Outreach - Fondy Food Pantry
Hunger affects everyone. Fondy Food Pantry is a non-profit, all volunteer organization established in 1973 whose main
focus currently is to provide non-perishable boxes of food to needy families in Fond du Lac County. In addition to theemergency boxed food program, Fondy Food Pantry also provides weekend food (2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 snacks)
to approximately 680 children who otherwise would have little to nothing to eat on the weekend.
Fondy Food Pantry’s President Sandy Breth said hunger is real in the community and the need to help those who don’t
have enough to eat is significant. The poverty levels continue to increase in Fond du Lac County and across the nation.
Low wages, and rising costs of housing, food, gas, utility bills, clothing and other basic needs affect families who arestruggling to make ends meet. For more information about Fondy Food Pantry, please visit them on Facebook or on theirwebsite at http://www.fondyfoodpantry.org/
There are so many in the Fond du Lac community that utilize their donations that they often have bare shelves. What could
they use specifically?
Please bring any of their wish list items: canned vegetables, potato sides, juice, tomato products, rice sides, mac andcheese, pancake mix for the boxed food program. The Food For Thought program which provides the weekend food forkids needs individual-sized easy-open cans of vegetables, fruits, tuna and chicken and pasta meals, such as Chef Boy-ardee.
