The Early Riser Kiwanis Endowment for Hunger Fund is designated endowment fund that was created in 2007 by a service group in Chippewa Falls known as the Early Risers Kiwanis Club. The endowment was established to address hunger and food scarcity in the community. Grants from this fund provide direct support to Agnes' Table, a community meal program for people of Chippewa County dealing with hunger issues.;

Agnes' Table & Community Center's mission is to provide nutritious meals, hospitality, and advocacy for community members facing challenges by collaborating with local agencies, organizations, and our community.

The Kiwanis Club mission overall is to make a lasting difference in the lives of children through community service projects. Members work together to have a positive influence in communities worldwide, demonstrating to youth and their families that someone cares about them. According to Kiwanis International, nurturing and encouraging children fosters success in individuals and makes communities stronger as a whole.

This endowment fund is a connection of service and in the words of a local Kiwanis Club member "It gives you a sense of giving back to the community, and I think that goes for all the volunteers...they feel a sense of self-worth."
