SUCCESS.
F RO M

E XEC U T IV E
DIR EC T O R
Sometimes you earn it after years of hard work. Other times it falls in your lap when you least expect it. Our annual report to
the community this year is really about success.
Success starts in our community leadership. Food For Families had a record number of food drives and collected a record
amount this year, thanks to Johnson Controls, local businesses and schools. And local donors and organizations stepped up to
make extra gifts when food shortfalls threatened widespread hunger.
Success also happened in the most unlikely of places—in January’s chill. The cold winter weather helped us save and
rescue hundreds of thousands of pounds of milk that were left locked inside the Golden Guernsey Dairy after it was abruptly
shuttered. On the heels of the milk rescue, we also organized our first community-wide peanut butter drive—Wanted: Peanut
Butter. Because what goes better with truckloads of milk than 100,000 jars of peanut butter?
We learned that success grows in years of partnership—literally, in the case of our Farm! On May 1, we stood shoulder-to-shoulder with
Harley Davidson Motor Company at The Farm as over 25 years of shared work blossomed into the single largest gift Hunger Task Force
has ever received: $2,475,000 to support our work growing fresh fruits and vegetables for the hungry, over 1,000,000 pounds this year!
We think everyone can agree that taking care of kids is one of the ultimate measures of success. Last summer Kohl’s Cares
­renewed their commitment to ending summer hunger for kids here in Milwaukee through Kohl’s Serving Up Supper for Kids. Knowing

Hunger Task Force believes that every person has A right to adequate food

Through it all, our tried and true volunteers turned out in record numbers. Volunteers are the juice that makes everything
go, and guide our organization toward success. We would be challenged to operate the way we do without the time and talent of
every single volunteer who worked with us throughout the year.

Hunger Task Force is proud to serve as Milwaukee’s
ONLY Free & Local food bank. Last year the food bank
delivered a record 10.3 million pounds of food…every
pound free of charge to local families who needed help.
Hunger Task Force - Milwaukee’s Free & Local Food Bank
FREE & LOCAL. You see those words everywhere in
Milwaukee…on Hunger Task Force’s donation boxes,
across the sides of those big blue delivery trucks or
flashing across the Interstate 94 signboard. Those words
are central to Hunger Task Force’s mission to feed Milwaukee.
Those words make that mission unique…here’s why:
FREE:
LOCAL:
Hunger Task Force delivers every
pound of food absolutely free of
charge. Food is never sold. There
are no delivery fees, or costs for
network membership. Every food
pantry, soup kitchen and homeless
shelter that Hunger Task Force serves
receives food for free. After all,
these programs run on lean budgets
and operate out of church basements.
Their “staff” are volunteers. There
shouldn’t be strings attached when
it comes to feeding people.
Established in Milwaukee and
supported by the local community,
Hunger Task Force stays true to its
roots and serves local families. Food
drive donations feed neighbors down
the street. Donor funding purchases
food that supports pantries and meal
programs right here in Milwaukee
County. Hunger Task Force feeds the
local community, and partners with
other Free & Local organizations
across the state that believe in the
same mission.

The local response was simply
incredible.
Individual donors stepped up to make
additional gifts above and beyond
their normal support. Community
leaders like The Brico Fund and
Roundy’s Foundation donated entire
truckloads to make sure that families
stayed fed. In just over two months,
enough food and funds were raised
to cover the entire shortfall and no
pantry or meal program ever ran
out of food.
WANTED: PEANUT BUTTER
Peanut butter is the perfect food. Fact. You can eat it for
breakfast, lunch or dinner, and it’s super-healthy for kids.
But peanut butter was in short supply in Hunger Task
Force’s food bank this past year – 100,000 jars short.
They say necessity is the mother of invention, so the first
ever “Wanted: Peanut Butter” campaign was launched,
and everyone was on the hunt. Jar by jar, local individuals
filled up food drive boxes at local organizations.
PEANUT BUTTER DONATIONS
Volunteers brought in peanut butter before their food
ConAgra Foods – 58,320 jars

Budgets were tight for everyone this
past year…especially for the federal
government. Funds for important
emergency food programs that
Hunger Task Force relies on to feed
the hungry were cut across the board.
These cuts totaled 18 truckloads of
food that included breakfast cereal,
milk, peanut butter, canned soup and
vegetables—a staggering 500,000
pounds of healthy and nutritious
­staples. Such a shortfall would have
meant bare pantry shelves and
widespread hunger in our community.
Hunger Task Force re-doubled efforts
and put out an emergency call for help.

stepped up with big donations to keep this healthy staple
on families’ shelves.
“I really, really, really commend Hunger Task Force and
appreciate all that you do. There would be true suffering
if not for Hunger Task Force.”

A huge part of the good work that has been done over the past year comes from a loyal, committed group
of community volunteers. This year nearly 10,000 volunteers donated their time to the Hunger Task Force
mission, the most ever in a single year! That’s like having an extra 14 full-time employees, valued at over
$650,000! From food bank to Farm, volunteers were the driving force behind all things Hunger Task Force.
Without the support of community members who take the time to volunteer, Hunger Task Force would
not be able to feed thousands of families and be strong advocates for an end to local hunger.
VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCES:
VOLUNTEERS ARE THE DRIVING FORCE OF HUNGER TASK FORCE
“On behalf of all of us that had
participated, we want to thank you
for all of your effort and time that
you put into coordinating such an
awesome and rewarding experience
for all of us!“
Tracy from US Bank
“Our group had a great time. “We
look forward to helping out Hunger
Task Force in the future.”
Brent from Quad/Graphics
“Our employee volunteers love
working on the Farm. Whether it
be harvesting, clearing the field or
planting, it’s a big change from our
corporate office environment. Not
only does it feel great to get a little
dirty and do some physical work,
but because that work helps people
in need and delivers to them fresh
and much needed food, it’s a win-win
for everyone!”
Jackie from Runzheimer International
“We are glad we could assist you in
your mission to combat hunger in
our community. Hunger Task Force’s
team took great care of us, as
always. We look forward to working
with you again in the future.”

This spring started with thunder,
but not just from the April showers.
Harley-Davidson Motor Company
roared into action at The Farm
on May 1 when the Foundation
announced a three-year funding
commitment of $2,475,000. This
was the largest gift in The HarleyDavidson Foundation’s history, as
well as the largest donation Hunger
Task Force has ever received!
This gift ensures that Hunger Task
Force can continue to grow and
distribute fresh fruits and vegetables to
families in need throughout Milwaukee.
Harley-Davidson’s investment also
supports an innovative job training
program for the unemployed, and will
expand a nutrition education program
which brings kids to The Farm to
learn where food comes from, how to
garden and how to cook.
The Harley-Davidson Foundation’s
support of The Farm is fueled by its
commitment to education, health
and the environment. With their
leadership and vision, Hunger Task
Force is sowing the seeds for a
stronger, healthier community.
RECORD GROWTH
and distributed more than 1,000,000
pounds of fruits and vegetables,
almost tripling last year’s production!
From asparagus to zucchini, sweet
corn to green beans, delivery trucks
were loaded to the brim all season
with more than 30 types of produce
for the hungry!
This year, more than 3,000 volunteers
rolled up their sleeves to help with
planting, growing and harvesting
at The Farm, setting a new record
for community involvement. Both
individuals and groups looking to make
a difference got their hands dirty on
the 90 acres Hunger Task Force farmed
this year. Everyone worked together
to ensure that families in need would
have access to fresh produce through
the Hunger Task Force network. Plus
everyone had a ton of fun in the
process, with stories to tell!
By the time the oak leaves finished
falling, Hunger Task Force had grown

When the last school bell of the year
rings, summer hunger becomes a real
danger for local kids. There are no more
school meals for three months, and
many families have a tough time putting
enough food on the table.
That is why Kohl’s Cares—
Milwaukee’s hometown hero—has
stepped up since 2011 to
feed thousands of kids
across our community
during the summer
through the “Kohl’s
Serving Up Suppers for
Kids” program.
Kohl’s Cares
provided over 166,000
healthy suppers to kids in need through
this signature program. By bringing
supper to the table, Kohl’s Cares helps
round out the breakfasts and lunches
provided by federal nutrition programs
at summer meal sites, ensuring that
kids have three meals a day.
Last summer nearly 740,000 meals
were served to local kids.
Hunger Task Force works hard to
bring together schools and community
partners to create safe, supervised
meal sites, so kids can play hard and
eat healthy during the summer. This
collaboration is nationally recognized as
the “Milwaukee Model”– other
communities look to Hunger
Task Force and Milwaukee to
see how it’s done!
Summer should be
a care-free time for local
kids, not the peak time for
childhood hunger. Hunger Task
Force is proud to have Kohl’s Cares
as a partner along with some other local
leaders to keep Milwaukee’s kids healthy!
Jane Bradley Pettit Foundation Feeds
Milwaukee’s Youth
In the dog days of summer, many
meal sites start shutting down when
“I’m so thankful for the program. Really, without it I would
HTF_2013AR_021214.indd 13-14
program funding runs out. One of
the big challenges Hunger Task Force
faces is keeping these sites open and
serving meals until the school year
is ready to start. Last summer, the
Jane Bradley Pettit Foundation came
through with an amazing $50,000
grant to keep sites open through
August. That meant thousands more
meals for Milwaukee’s kids! What an
amazing legacy Jane Bradley Pettit
has left in our community!
Northwestern Mutual Provides
Hope at the Auer Oasis
In 2013, Hunger Task Force and
Northwestern Mutual Foundation
teamed up to create the “Auer Oasis”
in Milwaukee’s north side Amani
neighborhood. The project had a twofold goal: to feed a lot of kids
and families, and to learn about the
needs of one of our community’s
poorest neighborhoods.
In collaboration with Milwaukee
Public Schools, Hunger Task Force set
up a summer meal site within Auer
School. Adults were also welcome,
and over the course of the summer
over 9,300 meals were served. Eating
together brings community, and
the meal site offered a safe place to
gather for local families, as well as a
place for kids to play and learn.
Through the Foundation’s
leadership, Hunger Task Force also
hit the streets in the neighborhood
to learn more about the area, local
food markets and the shopping
habits of residents. The surveys
and conversations with families told
stories about poverty and crime,
and a lack of access to fresh and
affordable food. What was learned
highlights great need, but thanks to
Northwestern Mutual, the Auer Oasis
provided a bit of hope while the work
to end local hunger continues.
Got Milk.
In January the Golden Guernsey
Dairy in Waukesha was abruptly
closed and locked up. A local
reporter contacted
Hunger Task Force to
get a reaction to the
thousands of dollars
worth of fresh dairy
that was locked inside
and going to waste.
Milk and dairy products going to waste?
Not on Hunger Task Force’s watch.
We took immediate action and
gained access to the plant. Local
volunteers stepped up to load up
truckloads of milk and dairy
products in a race against
the clock. Big blue Free &
Local trucks shuttled milk
all over Milwaukee. Sister
organizations across the
state also offered access
to semi trucks so more milk could be
rescued and saved. Madison, Racine,
Kenosha, Janesville, Menominee,
Oconto, Green Bay, La Crosse, Eau
Claire, Superior, Ladysmith, Fond
du Lac and Sheboygan all served as
hubs for fresh milk distribution.
This story started as a half-empty
glass of milk, but turned out to be
one that was actually half-full. A
total of 27 truckloads of milk and
dairy products, valued at $472,000,
were rescued and delivered to food
pantries and soup kitchens in towns
big and small throughout Wisconsin.

Hunger Task Force provides food with dignity. It’s a core of the
organization’s mission, and when people ask for help, Hunger
Task Force wants to be sure they know where to turn.
This year, thanks to a generous donation made in honor
of Milwaukee attorney Ted Warshafsky, Hunger Task Force created “The
Warshafsky Deck” to help identify the preferred language of individuals
with Limited English Proficiency.
The Warshafsky Deck is a spiral-bound notebook that contains cards in
18 languages, and provides information on how a family can get help if they are
in need of food or assistance. It helps them to say “I Speak…” The Deck is used
at local pantries, meal programs and outreach locations all over Milwaukee,
serving as a unique resource for our community’s diverse population.
