Volunteer with MUNCH
In response to COVID-19, The River seeks healthy volunteers who are not in the higher-risk demographic to help with our mobile lunch program, MUNCH (Madison Unites to Nourish Children at Home). This program provides mobile lunch services directly to children and teens within their local neighborhoods, where it is needed most. MUNCH bridges the gap that exists when school lunch is not available on weekends and over school breaks. You can also make a monetary donation to help support this vital program.
MUNCH volunteer opportunities include:

NOTE: While we make every effort to place volunteers in the area in which they have signed up, client volume and the operational needs of The River may require us to adjust volunteer assignments. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
