The Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee began when a group a people met to discuss their
concerns about hunger and children in Milwaukee. In 1970, this group organized as Citizens
for a Central City School Breakfast Program, which sought to work with the community and the
Milwaukee Public Schools to establish a pilot school breakfast program. The group
incorporated in 1974 under its current name, Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee, and hired staff
to administer its programs. It receives funding from many sources, including charitable
foundations, corporations, and individuals. The Task Force is currently run by a Board of
Directors from which an Executive Committee and Board Committees are derived. The Board is
comprised of twenty-one members elected for a three year term. Heading the staff is the
Executive Director who oversees the work of the Advocacy, Finance, Food Program, and
Resource and Fund Development Directors.
