FEED THE NEED
homebound delivery to our most vulnerable citizens
It's no secret that Milwaukee is one of the most segregated cities in the country. That's bad enough, but now Covid-19 is hitting the isolated northside neighborhoods hardest of all. Why? Poor access to health care and grocery stores. A prevalence of health issues, like asthma and diabetes. And many residents working in crisis-essential jobs like health care, cleaning and retail.
Help us bring food directly to Milwaukee's most vulnerable residents and limit the spread of Covid-19 and prevent additional illnesses and fatalities.

Do You Need a Food Drop-Off?
If you are especially vulnerable to Covid-19 infection and need supplies, let us know.

We Are UniteMKE
UniteMKE works on the front lines to protect Milwaukee’s most vulnerable families. We train and coordinate community health workers who provide in-home care for families with the greatest health risks and need.
We have identified families that have risk factors that make them most vulnerable to Covid-19. And while our staff knows who and where vulnerable families are – they do not have food to bring them. The pandemic has already stressed the fragile nonprofit agencies that serve the communities most in need. Food banks in particular have experienced a huge demand due to business closures and layoffs.
That's why it's so important that we get more help now! UniteMKE needs to secure food and other essential items for families in need, and bring it straight to their doorsteps. PLEASE HELP us Feed the Need – improve the health of our most vulnerable communities, limit the devastation this pandemic is causing, and prevent additional illnesses and fatalities.
