2024 Organization of the Year: CVTC

Since 2004, Feed My People (FMP) and its board of directors have selected a standout organization or two that have contributed substantially to the mission of FMP. This year, two higher education institutions were chosen for their invaluable contribution. Each went above and beyond to engage their faculty and staff and bring greater awareness and resources to our community. 

Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) has been a valued partner since 2015, playing a vital role in our hunger relief efforts in the Chippewa Valley. They have recently agreed to join the statewide hunger coalition led by Feeding Wisconsin and have assisted with local deliveries through their transportation training program. In addition, they generously hosted our July board meeting and participated in a podcast to help amplify the conversation around food insecurity. Their ongoing collaboration continues to strengthen our impact on the community.

"We are deeply honored to be recognized by our partners at Feed My People Food Bank," shared Dr. Sunem Beaton-Garcia. "This acknowledgment reflects the commitment of our students and employees to making a tangible difference in our community. At CVTC we believe that partnerships like this not only support those in need but also teach our students the value of compassion, service, and collaboration. Together, we are serving with love."

"Working in the food pantry for the last three semesters has been a great experience seeing the positive impact it has on our students. I have seen students come back after their first visit and express how thankful they are for our food pantry. Students have come back in later weeks bringing along new people who expand our food pantry community." - Braelynn Johnson, CVTC  graphic design student and student employee in the CVTC Food Pantry
