The lunches, which contain a sandwich, cheese stick, snack (every Friday) and 100% fruit juice would then be distributed to children in 21 different neighborhoods (three routes) on Milwaukee's north and south sides.

The Feed The Kids program has provided more than two million meals to hungry children in Milwaukee County since 1990. The Brewers have been longtime partners of the program.
