EVERY VETERAN IS A STORY. WISCONSIN WAS THERE.
IT STILL MATTERS.
Hitting Pause on Donations until
Feeding Neighbors with Bucket of Bread Chris Wysong is a career army veteran, and after his time in the military, he returned to La Crosse, WI. He opened Bucket of Bread to continue a love of creating delicious baked goods. In addition to baking, Chris also had a desire to do something that would help make a positive impact in his community and around Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Veterans Museum found Chris through Veteran Shark Tank, and we loved his story and passion. We have been carrying his dry bread kits in our store for almost a year to positive feedback from our customers. We wish to continue to share his products with our patrons and with the community at large. Like Chris, who has participated in many charity events and fund raising, Bucket of Bread is a fantastic way of combatting food insecurity in our area. Each bucket provides four pounds of bread dough that can be used in a variety of ways, and these are available in Traditional White, Hearty Wheat and Seven Grains. If you go to Chris’ website, bucketofbread.com, you will get a feel for Chris as a person, his passion for baking and how he is continuously working towards making FALL 2023 a difference.
MARCH 2024 We are putting a temporary pause on accepting donations to the museum collection. We will resume accepting donations after the staff completes an accreditation review with the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). The AAM accreditation process involves all staff and receiving accreditation means that the Wisconsin Veterans Museum adheres to the highest of standards and ethics in the museum profession. We hope you understand the need for this pause and why donating to an accredited museum is important. We expect to resume collecting on March 1, 2024.
