The leaves are turning and the weather is getting chilly, which can only mean one thing: Food for Families is back! This fall, Hunger Task Force and Johnson Controls, longtime partners in the fight against hunger in Milwaukee, are joining forces to feed the poor through the Food for Families food drive, a Milwaukee holiday staple since 1978. Shoppers in grocery stores throughout southeastern Wisconsin can make donations of non-perishable food in Hunger Task Force collection barrels located near the checkout aisles. Donations can also be made at Hunger Task Force, 201 S. Hawley Court, off the Hawley Rd. exit on I-94 west of Miller Park. Hunger Task Force will deliver all Food for Families donations to the poor free of charge through its network of 80 soup kitchens, food pantries and homeless shelters.
Conduct a Food Drive for Hunger Task Force!
Your donated food helps Hunger Task Force provide FREE food to Milwaukee’s poor through a network of 80 qualified food pantries, soup kitchens and homeless shelters. And any funds you can collect will help us run our food bank and advocate for an end to hunger!
Before you begin your food drive:
- Download a food drive packet (PDF). It’s full of great ideas to run the most successful food drive possible, including preferred food items and information about hunger in our community.
- Download a Donate Here food drive poster (PDF). Display these in your community to advertise exactly where and when your food drive will be running.
- Download a Hunger: Be a Solution poster (PDF). The design for this poster was donated by Ashley Potter, an up-and-coming Milwaukee graphic designer. We ask that you display this poster in high-traffic areas of your community to help draw attention to the problem of hunger in Milwaukee. We have many more of these posters for you to use, which we’ll send to you as soon as you request them! To request more, call Marie Greenfield at (414) 238-6473 or email marie@hungertaskforce.org!
- Register your food drive. Registration takes just minutes and tells us everything we need to know about your drive, including your barrel and poster needs, and when we can expect food.
If you have any questions along the way, please be sure to contact Marie Greenfield at (414) 238-6473 or email marie@hungertaskforce.org. On behalf of the many families needing emergency food assistance, thank you for running a drive for Hunger Task Force!
