1,500 volunteers pack nearly 300,000 pounds of rice to help fight hunger in NE Wisconsin. Posted: Sep 17, 2026 / 04:51 PM CDT Updated: Sep 17, 2026 / 04:52 PM CDT OSHKOSH, Wis. (WFRV) - Hundreds of volunteers filled the Oshkosh Arena Thursday, but instead of cheering from the stands, they were scooping, weighing, and packing rice for families across Eastern Wisconsin. The ninth annual Feed the Body, Feed the Soul event brought together roughly 1,500 volunteers with a goal of packaging nearly 300,000 pounds of rice in just 12 hours. Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin will distribute the rice through food pantries across its 35-county service area. "What we're seeing is just an uptick in food insecurity over the past couple of years," said Liz Wollenberg, chief systems and strategies officer for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. "As anyone knows, going to the grocery store will cost you a lot more than it did a few years ago." Wollenberg said rice is particularly valuable for families because it is shelf-stable, easy to store, and pairs well with a variety of other foods. The event, founded by Oshkosh Corporation in partnership with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, combines the volunteer work with live music from NEW Dueling Pianos. Greg Vandenberg was among the U.S. Venture volunteers taking part Thursday. "You're able to do something really repetitive, so you're actually able to have great conversations, laugh a lot," Vandenberg said. "We do a lot of singing. Some people are even dancing a little bit." The event has packaged more than 1.4 million pounds of rice over its first eight years. Oshkosh Corporation Chief Marketing Officer Brian Brandt said the event began nine years ago with the idea of bringing the community together while making a large impact in a short amount of time. Organizers are already setting their sights on next year's 10th anniversary. "We want to crest 2 million pounds over the ten years and 10,000 volunteers," Brandt said. "And we're on track to do that." The nearly 300,000 pounds of rice packed Thursday will now make its way through Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin's network of food pantries to help families across the region. WFRV will update this story as necessary.
