Voices Against Hunger

One thing which makes Hunger Task Force unique is that we are 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 that tradition to take action against hunger.

In only a few minutes, Voices members can reshape the public policy landscape to ensure people in need have access to nutritious food and healthy meals. Voices members take action by sending emails or making phone calls to public officials and legislators; attending lobby days or public hearings; or participating in outreach activities. Hunger Task Force offers Voices meetings throughout Milwaukee and provides you with the skills and information you need to be an effective advocate.
