Helping Milwaukee Families This Holiday Season: Join Brewery Credit Union’s Food Drive for the Hunger Task Force
As the holidays approach, many Milwaukee families are preparing for festive meals and time with loved ones. But for far too many in our community, the season brings added stress — not celebration. Food insecurity continues to affect thousands of local households, and the need for donations grows even greater during the winter months. That’s why Brewery Credit Union is proud to once again step up and support our neighbors through our Food Drive, benefiting the Hunger Task Force. Why Food Drives Matter in Milwaukee While Milwaukee is a city known for its heart and generosity, food insecurity remains a real challenge. According to local data, tens of thousands of residents rely on food pantries and meal programs each month. Rising grocery costs, limited access to affordable food options, and seasonal hardships can make it difficult for families to keep nutritious meals on the table. The Hunger Task Force, Milwaukee’s free and local food bank, works year-round to make sure everyone in our community has access to the food they need — without cost or discrimination. During the holidays, their shelves are stretched thin as demand increases, making every donation matter even more. How You Can Help Starting Monday, October 20th, 2025, Brewery Credit Union is inviting members, staff, and community members to bring in non-perishable food items to either BCU location through the end of November. All collected items will go directly to the Hunger Task Force, helping provide warm meals to local families during the holidays. To make your donation go even further: A Small Thank-You for Giving Back As a token of appreciation, the first 10 members at each branch who drop off a bag of food will receive a free Brewery Credit Union t-shirt (20 shirts total — 10 per location). It’s our way of saying “thank you” for helping us make a difference together. Together, We Can Build a Stronger Community At Brewery Credit Union, “People Helping People” isn’t just a slogan — it’s what drives us.By coming together as a community, we can help ensure that no one in Milwaukee goes hungry this holiday season. Stop by, drop off your donation, and help us spread warmth, kindness, and hope where it’s needed most. ❤️
