Help Fight Hunger Through WISN 12’s ‘Food for Families’ Holiday Food Drive

MILWAUKEE, WI (November 25, 2024) – For the 13^th consecutive year, WISN 12 is partnering with Hunger Task Force on the ‘Food For Families’ food drive. The annual fundraising effort will raise money, online and through a phone bank, to provide healthy food for hungry families in our area.

People across Southeastern Wisconsin can donate now by visiting WISN 12’s website. Viewers are also able to call in to a phone bank, which takes place on Tuesday, November 26, 2024 and Wednesday, November 27, 2024, from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

“Your generosity amounts to more than just a monetary donation,” says Jan Wade, president and general manager of WISN 12.  It’s an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of families in need, by ensuring their tables aren’t empty this holiday season.”

Last month, Hunger Task Force served nearly 60,000 people through their network of food pantries and meal sites.  Donations through the ‘Food For Families’ campaign amount to a tangible impact on families who are struggling, with a $15 donation equating to a ham or turkey and a $150 donation providing a full holiday dinner.

“The need in our community is growing,” adds Wade. “Please join us by giving over this holiday season and make a real difference in people’s lives.”
