NEENAH, Wis. (WFRV) – As some students go hungry for food, their minds become less productive, leading to struggles in the classroom—something the Rotary Club of Neenah is combating.
The Rotary Club of Neenah introduced a new program called Feeding Minds and Bodies at Neenah Middle School. The program provides healthy snacks to students who may not have food access during the day.
