Hallman/Lindsay starting making donations to local food banks in 2009 when the recession was in full swing and demand at pantries was at record highs. Because one in nine Wisconsin families struggle with food security, Hallman/Lindsay Paints has continued their giving each subsequent year (USDA, 2012).
