A Milwaukee native, Brandon Savage joins Hunger Task Force as the Hunger Relief Federation Manager. A leader in electoral politics, Brandon previously maintained a business specializing in local and statewide campaigning solutions. Now at Hunger Task Force, Brandon brings a unique context and strategy to the Hunger Relief Federation from years working in campaign management and Wisconsin politics.

The Hunger Relief Federation, established by Hunger Task Force in 2016, works to expand the Free-Local-Independent model to anti-hunger organizations in Wisconsin. “I believe deeply in the notion that every person has a right to adequate food obtained with dignity,” states Brandon. “The model of Hunger Task Force being Free & Local is the true way to make positive change across the region.”
