Block Out Hunger
For the eighth consecutive season, Wisconsin-based Cousins Subs and
the world champion Milwaukee Bucks team up to fight hunger across the
state through the Block Out Hunger campaign. Cousins Subs and its
Make It Better Foundation
will donate $50 for every shot the Bucks block during the 2022-23
regular season to the Hunger Task Force to purchase nutritious milk
for the nearly 50,000 Wisconsin families the nonprofit organization
and its affiliate food pantries serve. To learn more visit

Last season the Milwaukee Bucks blocked 326 shots, resulting in a
$16,300 donation from Cousins Subs to Hunger Task Force. Since its
inception in the 2015-16 season, the Block Out Hunger campaign has
raised more than $131,000 to support Hunger Task Force and its
affiliated pantries across the state of Wisconsin.
