Easy Eats for Summer | The River Food Pantry

Easy Eats for Summer

Summer break should mean carefree days, playtime, and sunshine — not hunger.

When school cafeterias close, many children lose access to free or reduced-cost school meals, and low-income families feel the strain of extra mouths to feed throughout the day.

You can help keep Dane County families in need fueled and thriving all summer long by supporting The River Food Pantry’s Easy Eats for Summer Campaign!

Your donation will help provide food that’s easy to grab, easy to make, and easy to enjoy for the rising number of local households experiencing food insecurity.

Thanks to our generous supporters, Easy Eats for Summer donations will be MATCHED up to $50,000!

Give today and help provide a summer full of relief for parents and nourishment for families throughout our community!

  • $50 can provide 70 dozen eggs
  • $200 can provide 125 half gallons of milk
  • $550 can provide string cheese for 200 families
  • $1,200 can provide cereal for 750 families
  • $2,000 can provide bananas for 1,075 families
