Today we are joined by Rob Hughes, a teacher from the Wausau School District, shares his inspiring journey with Wausau Area Food for Hope, a grassroots charity he founded. Spurred by his own childhood experiences, Rob has, over a decade, raised over $106,000 to provide Thanksgiving meals for families in need. Despite yearly challenges, including funding shortfalls, his resolve is bolstered by community support and partnerships with local businesses. Rob emphasizes the importance of family, community, and kindness while encouraging listeners to contribute. This heartwarming narrative is a testament to the power of giving and community spirit.
