The Hunger Task Force Mission

Hunger Task Force is Milwaukee’s only Free & Local food bank and Wisconsin’s anti-hunger leader.

Mission Statement:

Hunger Task Force believes that every person has a right to healthy food obtained with dignity. We work to prevent hunger and malnutrition by providing food to people in need today and by promoting social policies to achieve a hunger free community tomorrow.

Core Values:

Our core values are dignity, justice, equity, compassion and stewardship. Our goal and mission is to end hunger in our community and state.

What’s the Difference between Hunger Task Force and national food bank chains?

Hunger Task Force’s mission and Free & Local model are unique. Unlike national food bank chains, Hunger Task Force does not charge local pantries for food, delivery or network membership fees. We believe that healthy food should be provided free of charge based upon need, not upon an organization’s ability to pay. Our organization is supported 100% by the local community. Donors support Hunger Task Force because they believe in the Free & Local model to end hunger.
