Drive-Thru Groceries

Drive-Thru Groceries

Clients can pick up free drive-thru groceries from The River once a week. The River does not allow clients inside of the facility. Instead, volunteers and staff will load groceries into people’s vehicles.

Our groceries include non-perishable food and perishable food (e.g., fruit, vegetables, dairy, meat, frozen items). When you arrive at The River for drive-thru groceries, please let a volunteer or staff member know if you need other specific items, such as gluten-free food, baby formula, diapers, wipes, adult diapers, menstrual products, cat and dog food, and non-dairy milk. These items have a limited availability but we will do our best to fulfill your requests.

If you are not feeling well and need food, we encourage you to stay home. Please email info@riverfoodpantry.org and ask about setting up a proxy shopper.

How to Pick-up Groceries on Foot or Bike

To pick-up groceries and Family At-Home Meals on foot or bicycle, follow the directional signs along the Packers Ave. side of the building and enter the door for walk and bike-up traffic near where vehicle traffic exits the drive-thru bays. Come in the door and one of our friendly volunteers will greet and serve you there.
