    The Rev. Tim Oudenhoven hands food to a client of the food pantry at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Abbotsford, Wisconsin, Feb. 2, 2023.

  • Mobile Markets Come to Food Deserts

    Shoppers wait in line to checkout at the Hunger Task Force Mobile Market, which was parked outside the Highland Garden apartments in Milwaukee on March 16, 2022. The Mobile Market is a grocery store on wheels run by Malicki’s Piggly Wiggly and the Hunger Task Force that travels throughout Milwaukee County to visit neighborhoods that have limited access to fresh, healthy foods – but the upfront and continuing costs of mobile markets create a challenging business model.

  • Land of Plenty Includes Many Food Deserts

    Tony Moore, executive director of mental health clinic Birds of a Feather, talks while preparing lunch for residents at his group home in Kenosha, Wis. Moore says two large grocery stores in his neighborhood have closed since 2017, and in January, a small grocery there burned down — removing one more source of fresh meat and produce in an already deprived community.

  • State’s FoodShare Program Has Decade-Old Barriers

    President Ronald Reagan holds up a block of government surplus cheese during an event in 1985. When it began in 1939, federal food assistance consisted primarily of surplus goods purchased from farmers and food producers. Over the decades, it evolved into the food stamp program. Now, recipients use electronic benefit transfer cards to purchase groceries. But some long-lasting barriers remain, including a cumbersome process to maintain benefits.

  • The End of Universal Free School Meals?

    After the Goodman family of Waukesha, Wis., took a major financial hit during the pandemic, Jana Goodman was grateful for the universal free school meals offered at her son’s school. In June 2021, the Waukesha School Board voted to stop participating in the federal program. After an outcry, the board reversed its decision — but the program has since lapsed. Pictured at their home on July 12, 2022, are Goodman and her children, from left, Miles, 4, Sabrina, 1, and Jacob, 7.

Urbina is an administrator of the Milwaukee Formula Parents Facebook group, which allows its 3,000-plus members to swap tips about how to obtain baby formula during a national shortage in recent months.
