Gifting OpportunitiesHunger in Dane County remains high. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our area in March 2020, the national food insecurity rate had reached its lowest level since measurement began in the 1990s. The war on hunger was being won. But COVID’s impact in lost jobs, critical illness, and increased homelessness has reset much of the gains made in the past 3 decades.
Today, nearly 1 in 6 Dane County children and 1 in 11 senior citizens do not have consistent access to enough food for every person in the household. To end hunger and fight poverty in our region, BPNN will continue to serve all of Dane County on a permanent basis and will open a new 4800 sq ft training center at our Verona location in August 2022. Through a strategic partnership with the Latino Academy of Work Force Development, job training programs will provide low-income households with opportunities for family-sustaining living-wage careers in transportation, warehousing, and the food services sectors while meeting the increased demand for skilled workers from local employers. Can you help with a cash donation today? Because we have no paid staff, every dollar contributed goes directly to the local fight against hunger and keeping the lights on. |

Planned Gifts
For many donors, a long-term commitment is the perfect way to support hunger relief. Planned gifts help us secure and distribute food to those in need, raise public awareness, and advance solutions for low-income patrons. Your attorney/financial advisor can guide you in the best way to structure planned giving for your particular circumstances.
Planned gifts often provide financial benefits to the donor, too. Consult your tax adviser for potential tax benefits. The Tax ID for the Badger Prairie Needs Network is: 45-1159288.
