Host a Food Drive

When you think about donating to Hunger Task Force, what do you picture? Those familiar barrels in grocery stores. Getting into Summerfest for free with 3 food items. Putting food in a bag during Stamp Out Hunger and having your letter carrier pick it up.

Congratulations, you are right on all counts, but donating food can be a year round thing. Fighting hunger is a 365 a day job. Help us Feed Milwaukee by hosting a food drive.

It’s easy to do. Hold a food drive at work, school, or with friends. Make it a department vs. department challenge, a donation for a jeans day, or just focus on an item we are desperately in need of, like cereal, canned vegetables, or noodles.

Are you running an event or on a committee for one? Add a food donation element. Give folks a dollar off admission or an extra raffle ticket.

It’s easy and the thing is… People want to donate. Be a leader. Show them how. Make it easy to make a difference.

Follow our two-step plan and you too can hold a food drive.

1. Download a Food for Families food drive manual.

2. Register your event.
