School Breakfast Report
Each year,
The 2017-18 School Breakfast Report is out now! See how your child’s or local school district measure up against others in Wisconsin.
The report also contains report cards for the 40 public school districts with the highest number of free and reduced price meal eligible students in the state. Looking
School Breakfast Report Cards
The School Breakfast Report features 40 school districts that have been targeted for in-depth analysis on performance within the School Breakfast Program. These districts were chosen because they have the highest number of children who qualify for free or reduced-price meals.
These report cards evaluate public school districts in Wisconsin in three separate categories: 1) School Breakfast Program Participation, 2) Breakfast TIme and Place, & 3) Community Eligibility Provision. Each category measures how the school district responds to the problem of student hunger.

SNAPShots
Every month, Hunger Task Force creates a SNAPShot for each county and for the state. SNAPShots report the number of FoodShare recipients, the average monthly benefit, poverty statistics and unemployment percentages in that county. This SNAPShot is created to provide a clear and concise report on publicly available data.
Monthly SNAPshots
Each SNAPshot features a two-page summary

Healthy Kids Cookbook
Each year, Hunger Task Force’s Dietitian Educator works with three Milwaukee Public Schools to teach children in grades three through five the importance of nutrition and healthy eating. As part of the annual curriculum, the students take regular field trips to the Hunger Task Force Farm to learn how plants grow and where fruits and vegetables come from.
In addition to the hands-on education the students receive in the Student Garden, the Dietitian Educator also provides cooking lessons at the end of each class. At the beginning of the year, students are given a Healthy Kids Cookbook that they then work through together as a group.
The Healthy Kids Cookbook includes easy and fun-to-make recipes for children of all ages and backgrounds. They are also translated into Spanish. Check out the recipes below!
Well Fed Means Less Lead
In 2018, Hunger Task Force co-chaired a community group called the Milwaukee Nutrition & Lead Task Force to develop a campaign that would bring awareness to the presence of lead in Milwaukee’s neighborhoods.
The Well Fed Means Less Lead campaign was created to establish public awareness on the dangers of lead in paint, water and soil, as well as provide self-help information on avoiding lead exposure, and on how specific nutrients are protective of the dangers of lead. Read the Campaign Summary Report below to learn more about Well Fed Means Less Lead and how to create a replicable campaign in other at-risk lead communities.
