APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Student nurses across the country have been stepping-up to help in the COVID-19 vaccination process.
At Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, they’re now doing the same.
“I don’t think any of us really thought when we started nursing school that we would be going to school during a pandemic,” Mallory Konopa, second-semester nursing student at FVTC said.
FVTC students probably never guessed they’d possibly be a part of helping to also bring that pandemic to its knees.
“I’m ready for this to be done, so to do whatever it takes!” said Christine Schuessler, also a second-semester nursing student at the college.

Schneider (NYSE: SNDR), a premier provider of transportation and logistics services, has found a unique way to help food pantries in Northeast Wisconsin provide for those in need. The company recently donated a refrigerated trailer to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, the state’s largest hunger-relief organization. The 53-foot trailer will be used to transport fresh produce and other perishables.
“Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is a critical resource in our community,” said LuEllen Oskey, executive director of the Schneider Foundation. “We know that the use of food pantries during the pandemic has, sadly, grown exponentially, and we wanted to do our part to help. Giving them a safe, reliable refrigerated trailer that can get food to our neighbors more quickly was something we were excited to do.”
