Food For Kidz Northwoods We are a food packaging event held at LUHS in Minocqua, WI that benefits 22 local food pantries/backpack programs. We can’t do it without volunteers.

In '25 we packaged 245k meals and have packed over 2.9 million meals in 17 yrs! Our '26 goal is 300,000 meals and to raise $28k! Food For Kidz Northwoods is a food repackaging event held every October at LUHS in Minocqua. It is sponsored by the Boulder Junction Lions Club. We bring bulk food in from Stewart MN on a semi. We repackage it into smaller bags of 6-8 meals that consist of rice and beans, or cinnamon and oatmeal, that are put into cases of about 40 bags per case. We then distribute that to 23 area food pantries and backpack programs. Whatever is not used by them, is taken back to Stewart MN and distributed to hungry children all over the world. We need 600 volunteers every year. It’s a fun, face-paced, and feel-good event. There aren’t many things you can do to help so many people in such a short period of time. If you have any friends, family, church groups, etc, we’d love to have you! In 2024 we packed 271,000 meals and have packed a total of over 2,600,000 million meals since we started our event 16 yrs ago! Donations can be made to:
