Milwaukee Public Market
Celebrating 20 years in 2025, the Milwaukee Public Market has become a cornerstone of the city, bringing together the flavors, creativity and traditions that make Milwaukee unique. Home to 19 independently owned vendors, the Market is known as a bustling hub where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy food, events and culture. Beyond being a beloved destination, the Milwaukee Public Market has consistently demonstrated its commitment to community, ensuring that its success translates into meaningful impact across Milwaukee.
That commitment includes an ongoing partnership with Hunger Task Force. By hosting food drives, supporting fundraising events and engaging the public in charitable giving, the Market has helped strengthen access to healthy, nutritious food for families in need. The Market’s role as a trusted community gathering place makes it a natural partner in Hunger Task Force’s Free & Local mission, reminding visitors that every meal shared in Milwaukee should be enjoyed with dignity.
The Market also embraces community nutrition education and connection through its popular cooking classes and public events, which often highlight the importance of fresh, local food. These programs not only showcase the talent of Milwaukee’s food community but also reinforce the value of good nutrition, a principle at the heart of Hunger Task Force’s work. By linking food education with food access, the Milwaukee Public Market reflects a holistic approach to strengthening our community.
As the Market enters its third decade, its dedication to uplifting local businesses, supporting residents, and partnering with nonprofits like Hunger Task Force ensures its legacy will extend far beyond its walls. Together, we are working toward a future where every Milwaukee family has access to healthy food and the chance to thrive.
Hunger Task Force is proud to honor the Milwaukee Public Market as our Partner of the Month. We celebrate their two decades of impact, their commitment to Milwaukee’s identity and their partnership in building a hunger-free community.
