Dodger Food Locker thanks supporters with gathering

Duke’s Brew Pub in Dodgeville was the site of the annual “Happy Hour For Hunger” sponsored by Dodger Food Locker in appreciation to all the supporters each year that help provide meals for Dodgeville School District student over the weekends.

Their mission is to help as many of those children as possible by providing weekly food vouchers valid at Dodgeville Piggly Wiggly or the Ridgeway Badger Mart. Families with one elementary age child receive a $20 certificate each Friday during the school year. Families with 2 or more elementary age children receive a $40 certificate.

Since the group started, the number of students served has increased thanks to generous community support from donations and fundraisers. They have been able to add students from the Middle School and High School - and strive to help all families in need.

This year the group served beverages plus a taco bar from the Corajello Mexican Restaurant next door.
