🌟 Celebrating Leadership, Service, and a Bright Future for Food for Thought! 🌟

At Fondy Food Pantry, our mission is made possible by dedicated individuals who pour their hearts into serving our community.

Today, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to Kim Hughes for her incredible leadership and commitment to our Food for Thought program. Through her eight years of hard work, compassion, and dedication, countless school-aged children in Fond du Lac County have received nutritious food to help ensure they return to school each week ready to learn, grow, and succeed.

Kim's impact on this program, and on the lives of the children and families it serves, will be felt for years to come. We are profoundly thankful for the care and energy she has invested in making Food for Thought such a vital resource in our community.

As Kim transitions from this role, we are excited to welcome Mari Shettsline, who will be carrying the program forward. Mari brings a passion for helping others and a commitment to ensuring that the thousands of children facing food insecurity continue to receive the support they need.

Please join us in:
💚 Thanking Kim for her outstanding service and leadership.
💚 Welcoming Mari as she begins this important work.
💚 Celebrating the continued success of Food for Thought and the positive difference it makes in the lives of local children.

Together, we are Fighting Hunger. Growing Hope. One child, one family, and one community at a time.
