Feeding the hungry for more than 30 years...
 Hunger Task Force is a nonprofit organization with a mission to end hunger. In 1974, we were founded to promote socially sound policies that could end hunger in our community.
In 1977, we responded to community need by opening a food bank to distribute free food to local charities that feed the hungry. Our food bank organizes wide-scale food drives in the community to collect food. This donated food is then sorted, allocated and delivered to qualified local charities that feed the hungry.
Hunger Task Force supports the work of local homeless shelters, meal programs and food pantries that share our vision for ending hunger. These direct-service charities make up a network that helps assure reasonable access to healthy and nutritious food for Milwaukee’s needy and makes it possible for a needy family to get help - on the day that they need it - in a neighborhood near their home.
Hunger Task Force is unique in its role as a food bank in never charging fees to charities for receiving, storing or delivering food. We strive to assure access to emergency food supplies while limiting ongoing reliance upon charity for food.
