MANITOWOC, WI—Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center will be open Monday, January 20 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. To honor the holiday, the organization will be hosting a food drive for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. Guests who donate non-perishable food items will receive $5 off general admission to the discovery center.
“We are thrilled to once-again support our friends at Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin,” shares Abigail Winkel, brand manager at Farm Wisconsin. “Opening our doors on Martin Luther King Jr. Day offers families a destination to visit on a day off from school and an opportunity to support our neighbors through a food drive at the same time. It’s a win-win for our community.”
From 9 AM to 4 PM, guests can immerse themselves in the fascinating world of Wisconsin agriculture. The center offers 10,000 square feet of interactive exhibits showcasing the production of food, fuel, and fiber in the state. After exploring the exhibits, guests can get up close and personal with a dairy cow and may even witness the birth of a calf in the awe-inspiring Land O’Lakes birthing barn.
In addition, the Wisconsin Café will be open from 8 AM – 2:30 PM. Featuring a newly-launched winter menu crafted by Farm Wisconsin’s chef, the café offers a variety of breakfast and lunch options made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.
Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is dedicated to addressing hunger throughout the state of Wisconsin. With support from local donors, the organization distributes food items to various pantries, meal programs, shelters, and more. All items collected during the food drive will help support Feeding America’s mission to provide food to families who face food insecurity in the surrounding communities. Highly requested items include canned goods, dried food goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and toiletry items.
