The largest amount on record in the Alliant Energy Foundation’s annual “Drive Out Hunger” event was awarded to seven Wisconsin and Iowa food banks serving more than 100 counties where Alliant Energy provides service. Sheboygan County is served by one of those beneficiaries, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. Over its 19-year history, the Drive Out Hunger event has raised nearly $7 million for hunger relief and provided over 30 million meals to help those facing food insecurity. This year’s award totaled $550,000.
The fundraising event itself, held on September 9th, is an annual golf event and signature fundraiser connecting Alliant Energy’s business partners across the country to programs that alleviate hunger. This year’s event also included a record number of sponsors supporting the cause.
