End of Summer Resource Fair Returns to Southdale Park! | The River Food Pantry

We’re excited to announce the return of the End of Summer Resource Fair at Southdale Park. Working alongside the Fitchburg community we were able to create another fun and engaging event to celebrate the end of summer and learn about local resources. The Munch truck will be there with meals and fresh produce for everyone to enjoy!

This free family friendly event includes music by DJ Fusion, as well as a variety of activates including sticker making, bracelet and craft creating, birdhouse painting, and more! In addition to the activities, more than a dozen local agencies will be tabling to share information, resources, and programs available to the community. Here’s a look at who you can expect to see:

  • Rooted
  • Fitchburg Library
  • Fitchburg Chamber of Commerce
  • Fitchburg Police Department
  • REAP Food Group – will be bringing bike blenders for interactive smoothie or salsa making!
  • NAMI
  • Newbridge
  • City of Fitchburg Recreation Department
  • Fitchburg Senior Center
  • Impact Life – offering free blood typing
  • Briarpatch
  • Big Brothers, Big Sisters
  • Economic Development of Fitchburg – hosting a small community forum to gather feedback and discuss housing plan efforts
  • Family & Finance educator with UW Dane County Extension

Come out and enjoy a day of music, creativity, and community connections.

Thursday, August 14, 5-7pm. All are welcome to this free event.
