FlannelJax’s donating 25% of sales from axe throwing each Sunday to The River Food Pantry 

 

FlannelJax’s Madison has announced that The River Food Pantry is the November partner for the FlannelJax’s Gives Back program, which is designed to uplift and aid local charitable organizations doing crucial work in Madison. Throughout November, 25% of the axe-throwing revenue on Sundays will be donated to The River Food Pantry and will also be spotlighted on FlannelJax’s social media to help raise awareness of their efforts. 

“It’s important that we contribute to the betterment of our community by supporting a different organization each month,” said Stephen Schober, President & CEO of FlannelJax’s. “In addition to having some fun at our FlannelJax’s venues, non-profits, like The River Food Pantry, will receive financial donations and have a spotlight shone on their efforts. We applaud their dedication and hard work provided to feed the citizens of Madison.”  

Since opening in 2006, The River has become South Central Wisconsin’s busiest food pantry to serve the rising number of people who rely on the pantry for healthy, nutritious groceries and meals. Today, more people are using the pantry’s services than ever before. In 2023, 17,079 people relied on The River for food. This was by far the most ever served in a year, and demand is up 18% in 2024. 

“With the help of partners like FlannelJax’s, we get to touch thousands of lives every single week with the goal of feeding more hungry children and adults,” said Rhonda Adams, Executive Director of The River. “With support from FlannelJax’s and our community, we will nourish our Dane County neighbors in need through The River’s free services: groceries and freshly prepared meals for pickup or delivery, online grocery orders, mobile meals, and after-hours food lockers.”
