Pick n' Save, Metro Market and 1000+ volunteers pack 1 million meals ahead of the holidays
CBS 58 MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- November is here and that means holiday meals and a lot of grocery shopping. With food prices at an all-time high, local grocery stores and organizations are stepping up to help.
Metro Market and Pick n' Save teamed up with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin on Thursday, Nov 5 with a goal of packing one million meals to give out to people across the state and beyond.
Employees and community members are taking time out of their day to volunteer and pack meals. Emilie Williamson, the head of communications for Metro Market and Pick ‘n Save says volunteers can pack about 550 meals in a two-to-three-hour shift.
Walk in registration is welcome. The last shift of volunteers will be 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Meals are being packed at the Wisconsin State Fair Expo Center.
