This June, get educated about hunger and get involved in ending hunger during National Hunger Awareness Month.

Did you know that Milwaukee has the tenth worst child poverty rate in the nation? Over 200,000 participants are enrolled in FoodShare in Milwaukee County. Statewide, 1 in 10 residents lives in poverty. Learn more about hunger and Hunger Task Force’s food distribution here.

Give an hour or a day to help alleviate hunger! Volunteer with a friend to hang signs promoting summer meals, host a food drive, or learn about other volunteer opportunities by attending a Hunger Task Force volunteer orientation or contact Marie Greenfield.

Also, take action online and tell your elected officials to make ending child hunger a priority.
