The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is scheduled to make a few stops next month in south central Wisconsin.
The goal of the Holiday Train is to collect food and money for local food banks and to raise awareness in the fight against hunger. At each event, the Holiday Train provides a box car stage, a line up of great musical talents and a corporate contribution to the local food bank.
Since the program's inception back in 1999, more than $6.4 million and over 2.6 million pounds of food has been collected in Canada and the United States.
