Learn about hunger.
In Wisconsin, more than half a million people are food insecure right now. Learning about hunger is the first step to making a change.
Read about stories of hunger on our blog or improve your understanding of hunger in Wisconsin through an interactive map.
Host a PB&J collection drive.
February is time for the PB&J Challenge! Peanut butter is one of the most sought-after items at Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. Along with being rich in protein, it is also easy enough for children to make a sandwich by themselves for any meal of the day if an adult isn’t available to help. And what’s Peanut butter without Jelly? Host a collection drive here, make a donation, or join in the fun on our social media pages.
Donate through your taxes.
Even though taxes aren’t due until April, we know you’re on top of it this year! Donating through your taxes is so easy.

Volunteer at one of our food banks.

We want to ensure that there is equitable access to food for people in our neighborhoods, and we all have a role to play in making that possible.
