Kemps partners with Midwest food banks, donates nearly 800,000 milk cartons including 30,000 in Wisconsin
APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – Dairy brand Kemps is donating nearly 800,000 cartons of milk in 2025 to food banks across the Midwest, and on Wednesday, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin received over 30,000. The 'Giving Cow' chocolate milk cartons were donated to the Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin center in Appleton. Green Bay Area Public School District begins Summer Meals Program, providing free food to students The idea for the massive donation came from the recent rise in food costs, and in eastern Wisconsin alone, about 459,000 people are experiencing food insecurity, according to Feeding America. In Wisconsin as a whole, that number is over 617,000, with about a third of them being children. The reason for the milk donation is that it's one of the most requested and least donated items at food pantries, as many lack proper refrigeration. Mayor Eric Genrich fires back at Detroit after Green Bay NFL Draft sees nearly 31% increase in unique visitors According to the release, 'Giving Cow' milk is specifically designed in a carton made for food banks and backpack programs.

What's that under construction on West Mason Street in Green Bay?
Construction crews started site work in late May on what will become the Green Bay area's 24th Kwik Trip this fall. The Green Bay City Council in May 2024 approved a conditional use permit to convert the site into a convenience store. The popular, La Crosse-based convenience store chain subsequently in August 2024 paid $1.6 million for 2.8 acres in the 1000 block of West Mason Street. The site's three former commercial buildings were demolished last year. Green Bay property records indicate the city on May 14 issued a building permit for the new Kwik Trip with an estimated project cost of $1.5 million. Kwik Trip expects to complete construction this fall and set a tentative opening date of Oct. 24. This is tentative, though, dependent on weather and construction schedules.

The new store will be about 9,000 square feet and customers can access it from entrances on West Mason Street and Gross Avenue. The company originally requested three entrances, but removed the Gross Court entrance after neighbors expressed concerns about it. Kwik Trip plans to install extensive landscaping on the site, including stormwater management facilities. It does not appear site plans include a car wash at this time. The new Kwik Trip at 1027 W. Mason St. will be the popular convenience store chain's 24th location in Brown County. The chain's 23rd location in the region is set to open this summer at 1535 Sunset Beach Road, in Suamico.
