Today was Hunger Task Force Stockbox Distribution Day at Independence First!
Every month, our Milwaukee office serves as a distribution point for Hunger Task Force, Inc.’s Senior Stockbox Program. It's a program providing free boxes of healthy food to adults 60+ who meet income requirements. Each Stockbox includes staples like cereal, milk, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta or rice, protein, juice, canned meats, and two pounds of fresh Wisconsin cheese.
Today, we were proud to serve 52 seniors, and this month’s distribution was extra special! Along with the regular Stockboxes, Hunger Task Force provided fresh fruit, butternut squash, and milk. We also included holiday gift bags from the United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County and toiletry kits in drawstring bags to help make the season a little brighter.
A huge thank you to the volunteers from Edward Jones in Milwaukee for lending a hand and helping everything run smoothly, and to our partners at Hunger Task Force for their ongoing collaboration.
Independence First is proud to host this program each month in one of Milwaukee’s most accessible community spaces, with ample accessible parking, zero-point entry doors, and no stairs.
📦 Next month’s distribution will be Friday, January 16.
You can now find all our 2026 distribution dates at independencefirst.org.
