I am pleased to hear that Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and the Greater Milwaukee Foundation will be receiving federal funding to help them host AmeriCorps volunteers as they do amazing work on the ground to serve our communities. I am a former VISTA (Volunteers in Service To America) volunteer and AmeriCorps is near and dear to my heart because I know the power of its impact on our most vulnerable, which is why I am proud to announce additional funding to support more volunteers to help address pressing needs in my community,\u201d said Congresswoman Moore.\n\n\u201cThank you to Congresswoman Moore for being a tireless advocate for Wisconsin. Being awarded the AmeriCorps Vista position will help increase our capacity to serve our community while also providing the opportunity to learn about the vital role we all play in addressing poverty and ensuring members of our local communities have the opportunity to thrive,\u201d Patti Habeck, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin President and CEO.\n\n\u201cThrough the years, AmeriCorps VISTA members have made remarkable contributions to Milwaukee Succeeds and the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. Their enthusiasm, dedication and skill have added new dimensions to our culture, improved our work and heightened our connections to the community,\u201d said Danae Davis, Executive Director of Milwaukee Succeeds. \u201cWe are grateful to again be awarded the honor of hosting VISTA service members this year and look forward to how we will learn from one another and, together, improve outcomes for young people in Milwaukee.\u201d", 1, "2026-04-07T15:46:19Z", "2026-06-28T00:48:43Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://gwenmoore.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4837"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9684180840849876, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
