Hunger Task Force made Valentine’s Day a bit sweeter for Hope Center Pantry. The task force donated a pallet of 36 boxes of canned vegetables to our pantry. Each box had roughly 30 15-ounce cans. That means the pantry received approximately 1,100 cans!

The timing was perfect, because pantry managers were just about to place their next bulk order for canned vegetables. The donated canned vegetables, which filled the pantry’s back storage room, are being distributed to Pantry clients.

New Partnership with Hunger Task Force

The Hunger Task Force, a food bank based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, recently expanded its outreach to Northeast Wisconsin.

The task force works to prevent hunger and malnutrition by providing food to people in need today and by promoting social policies to achieve a hunger free community tomorrow.

On Jan. 7, 2025, Hope Center Pantry received a call that filled our hearts with gratitude. The Pantry’s neighborhood grocery store, Save A Lot, offered us a substantial amount of food for its holiday food drive. The grocery store collected the food donations during its 7th annual Bags for a Brighter Holiday food drive. This nationwide food drive program is a powerful reminder of how communities can come together to support those in need. The Pantry is honored to be the recipient of this generosity.

Milk Voucher Partnership with Grocer

For over three years, Hope Center Food Pantry has partnered with Save A Lot to provide a simple but essential resource for our pantry clients: pre-paid gallon milk voucher cards.
