Topics: Joey and Holly talk about Amy from Milwaukee's Hunger task force. https://www.hungertaskforce.org/

Hunger Task Force is Milwaukee’s Free & Local food bank and Wisconsin’s leading anti-hunger organization. They were founded in 1974 by a group of parent advocates who were fighting for a school breakfast program in Milwaukee Public Schools. Today, Hunger Task Force provides a safety net of emergency food to a network of local food pantries and meal programs. We are the only food bank in Milwaukee that does not charge for food, delivery or network membership.Amy Wallner started as Farm Volunteer Coordinator at The Farm in March 2014. Since February of the following year, Amy has had a lead role in designing and implementing the Hunger Task Force Farm annual crop plan, striving to provide a consistent harvest of 20+ fruit and vegetable varieties throughout the growing season. She is also responsible for continuous farm operation improvements, including visioning for the farm’s multi-year sustainability plan and equipment upgrades.
