Our Story
Fighting Hunger Since 1974.
With No Exceptions.
Hunger Task Force is Milwaukee's food bank. We believe every person in our community deserves access to nutritious food — and we've built the logistics infrastructure to make that a daily reality for 50,000+ residents.
Our Mission
To fight hunger in Milwaukee County by providing and protecting a reliable source of nutritious food for people facing poverty.
Our Values
We believe in dignity, equity, and efficiency. No politics, no qualification barriers — just food reaching people who need it.
Our Model
We rescue surplus food, grow fresh produce, and operate our own logistics network — eliminating the middlemen that slow impact.
