Partner of the Month: Milwaukee Recreation
Hunger Task Force isn’t just Milwaukee Free & Local food bank – we’re a community. We believe in the power of collaboration, and that’s why we’re thrilled to recognize our amazing supporters through “Partner of the Month,” a platform to celebrate the incredible local organizations, businesses and companies who join us in the fight against hunger. They donate food, volunteer their time, raise awareness and provide financial support – strengthening our work in preventing hunger and malnutrition by providing food to people in need today and by promoting social policies to achieve a hunger-free community tomorrow.

Milwaukee Recreation
A trusted leader in promoting healthy lifestyles and community well-being, Milwaukee Recreation goes beyond sports and programming to support local families with vital resources, including access to nutritious food. Their partnership strengthens our shared mission to ensure every person has access to healthy food obtained with dignity.
Milwaukee Recreation is a department of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), uniquely mandated to utilize public facilities to provide diverse recreational and educational programs for all Milwaukee residents – from children to seniors.
“Milwaukee Recreation is committed to nurturing the well-being of our community, and a fundamental aspect of that is ensuring access to nutritious food,” shares Megan Fry, Supervisor, Active Older Adults for Milwaukee Recreation. “Our partnership with Hunger Task Force highlights the vital role recreation programs play in addressing food insecurity.”
Milwaukee Recreation helps fight hunger year-round. As a trusted Summer Meals Program partner, their community sites are where many kids receive nutritious meals when school is out. They also support local seniors by partnering with Hunger Task Force to distribute Stockboxes at the OASIS Community Center.
By providing accessible and engaging programs, Milwaukee Recreation not only promotes physical activity and healthy lifestyles but also serves as a key distribution point and trusted community hub where individuals can access the resources they need to live a healthy lifestyle.
