Food donation

The WEA Trust, a not-for-profit group health insurance company serving Wisconsin public school employees, donated more than 320 pounds of food to the Jewish Community Pantry as part of the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center’s 12-week Big Melt Down wellness and lifestyle management program. The amount more than matched the 300 pounds of total weight lost by the 28 participating teachers, staff and their family members from Nicolet High School.
