Voices Against Hunger
Do you have 5 minutes each month you could donate to help fight hunger? Voices Against Hunger is the quick and impactful way you can influence effective anti-hunger public policy!
Hunger Task Force is more than just a food bank—we also engage in anti-hunger advocacy every day. Our founders in the central city of Milwaukee fought for access to school breakfast in Milwaukee Public Schools. Today our citizen advocacy group Voices Against Hunger continues to fight hunger.
Community members can support our advocacy work by taking action on important anti-hunger public policy issues through joining Voices Against Hunger. "Taking action" could mean writing letters, sending emails, or making phone calls to County Supervisors, School Board members, or local newspapers. Interested Voices members can also attend meetings with elected officials or speak out against hunger at public hearings. Hunger Task Force offers Voices meetings throughout Milwaukee and provides you with the skills and information you need to be an effective advocate.
