My Company donates on a quarterly basis to Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee and runs an annual Charity Event Called Palermo's Pizza Easter Baskets for the Hungry. Sheri and her team have always went above and beyond to make our event run very smoothly and also to provide us with the emotional rewards our volunteers are looking for. I would highly recommend Hunger Task Force as all of our donations stay in the Milwaukee Area and we have a real connection to the need and who we are helping
