Pack the Pantry Telethon on April 29 | The River Food Pantry

UPDATE: Thanks to all who supported The River’s Pack the Pantry fundraising telethon! 449 donors generously gave over $47,000—plus two $5,000 matches—for a total of $57,858.60!

Earlier this year, The River’s Pack the Pantry on Packers Ave campaign raised a total of $112,818 and collected 43,944 pounds of food to fill our new warehouse. Thank you so much to everyone who supported this effort, including News 3 Now, Madison Magazine Restaurant Week, the Frautschi Family, and the many other individuals and businesses that made this campaign a success!

We are teaming up with News 3 Now again to make sure we can continue to stock our new warehouse with essential food and supplies for thousands of our neighbors facing food insecurity. On Wednesday, April 29th, tune into News 3 Now for our Pack the Pantry fundraising telethon from 6 am–7 pm!

Together, we can ensure families in our community have the nourishment and support they need.

With generous support from:
