Hunger is not an issue isolated to third world countries; there are people right in this community who do not have enough food. Wisconsin is one of the nation’s most abundant agricultural states, and yet there are many children, families and seniors struggling to live below the poverty line. Close to home In the City of Milwaukee, 27.4% of people—of that an overwhelming 39.8% of children—live below the federal poverty line. In 2019, nearly 42% of children in Milwaukee County received FoodShare (food stamps) and a full 82% of Milwaukee’s public school students were determined to be economically disadvantaged. In 2018, 1 in 11 Wisconsin households (8.9%) experienced low or very low food security. Hunger Task Force is Milwaukee's Free & Local food bank. Location 201 S.
