Hunger Task Force kicks off annual holiday food drive

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Hunger Task Force is making sure local families don't go hungry this holiday season. 

The annual Food for Families campaign began Tuesday. This year it's asking for donations of three very specific items. 

They include: low-sodium vegetables, low-sugar breakfast cereals, and canned tuna or chicken. The mission behind the campaign is clear.

"It's all about the holidays and making sure people can celebrate the holidays the same way that you and I do with healthy, nutritious foods," said Hunger Task Force Executive Director Sherrie Tussler. "We're looking for people to donate now and throughout the end of the year."

There are blue donation bins at most local grocery stores where you can drop items off. 

The campaign goes through New Year's Eve.
