MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A nonprofit is helping make sure local families can enjoy a warm meal together this holiday season. 

Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin launched their annual "Food for the Holidays" campaign. 

Volunteers packed boxes filled with cooking essentials which will be distributed across the community. 

For the fourth year in a row, local comedian Charlie Berens is an ambassador to the project. 

CBS 58 caught up with him during the event. 

"Just to remind folks that there's a lot of people who don't have and they could really use your help and that could come in many different forms I know for a lot of people money is tight right now so you could come down here and donate some canned goods that you have," said Berens. 

The Food for the Holidays campaign runs from now until New Year's Eve.
