Hunger Task Force

 

Outpost Natural Foods and Hunger Task Force have been active community partners since the late 1990's. We share their common goal of ending hunger in our cities and have created a number of programs to help them achieve that goal. What is unique about Hunger Task Force is that all food and services are provided free of charge to local area emergency food pantries. That means they are 100% reliable on community support to help them operate and provide food for the thousands of people who face hunger every day in Milwaukee. Look for these programs in stores throughout the year.

 

Formula Drive for Kids

Since 2015

May 1 - 31

Our newest food drive - Shoppers donate money which Outpost uses to purchase baby formula for Hunger Task Force. Baby or infant formula is often requested at emergency food pantries. It is a costly item to purchase for parents who may already be struggling to feed their family. This is the one item Hunger Task Force must buy in order to stock their supplies and the items can be expensive.

 

 

Think Outside the Lunchbox

Since 2003

June 1 - August 31

Hunger doesn't take a vacation. That's why Outpost joins forces with Hunger Task Force every summer to help end hunger for our community's families in need. Think Outside the Lunchbox annually educates Outpost owners and shoppers about the effect hunger has in our community, especially its impact on those kids who rely on school meals as a part of their daily nutrition. Please consider helping local families this summer by making a monetary donation at any Outpost location.

 

 

Thanksgiving Meal Boxes

Since 2008

Outpost provides fresh produce for the annual Thanksgiving Meal Boxes assembled by dedicated volunteers at Hunger Task Force. In year's past, 800 meal boxes were sent out to area families. This is a direct food donation from Outpost Natural Foods.

Buy A Bag for the Hungry

Since 1999

November 1 - December 31

For a $20 donation, shoppers "purchase" $40 worth of natural and organic foods - enough to fill a grocery bag - for the hungry, including fresh carrots, apples and potatoes. In celebration of the program, Outpost staff, owners and shoppers participate in a January food sort. Since the program's inception, Outpost shoppers have provided over $800,000 worth of food to help alleviate hunger in our community!
