About [Edit]
Hunger Task Force has a rich tradition of service as both an advocacy organization and a food bank. For more than 30 years we've been a voice for the hungry, promoting social sound policies that could end hunger in our community. In 1977, we responded to community need by opening a food bank to distribute free food to local charities that feed the hungry.
The dual objective - advocacy and food banking - makes us unique. Food banking alone cannot end hunger: advocacy in the absence of charity is less effective. Our expert and knowledgeable staff use them together to more effectively combat hunger.
We are committed to advocating for programs that help ensure people have enough food to feed themselves and their families. Since 1974, we have consistently worked with legislators and administrators to expand and to improve access to programs such as the Women Infants and Children (WIC) Program, the Food Stamp Program, and the School Breakfast and School Lunch Programs.
Additionally, we promote food–related economic development projects which seek to help people attain self-sufficiency, including farmers’ markets and public markets.
And when we distribute food to the pantries, homeless shelters and meal programs in our network, we do it for free. Resources at these programs are already scarce – to charge fees to obtain food would cripple their ability to serve the poor. And if we got into the business of profiting from our work or even selling food, we could never fully commit ourselves to ending hunger.
