Financial Giving Opportunities

Financial donations are one of the most effective ways to support the food pantry. Because of our purchasing partnerships and access to government-supported food programs, we're able to stretch every dollar much further than the average grocery shopper. That means your gift provides more meals, more fresh food, and more support for local families.

You can choose to make an immediate impact by supporting our day-to-day operations or invest in the future through our Endowment Fund. Together, these gifts ensure we're able to serve our community today—and for generations to come.

You may also drop off your donation during our regular pantry hours.

Some gifts meet today's needs. Others help ensure those needs can be met for decades to come.

The River Falls Community Food Pantry Endowed Fund at the St. Croix Valley Foundation is our "forever fund." Unlike gifts to daily operations, donations to the Endowment Fund are invested to create a permanent source of income for the pantry. Each year, a portion of the investment earnings helps support our mission while the principal remains invested, allowing the fund to continue growing over time.

An endowment provides long-term financial stability, helping the pantry weather economic downturns, respond to unexpected challenges, and continue serving our community well into the future.

Whether you're making a planned gift, including the pantry in your estate plans, or making a contribution today, your generosity creates a lasting legacy of hope.

Build our
Forever Fund

The River Falls Community Food Pantry Endowed Fund was established through a founding gift from a local family committed to ensuring the pantry can serve future generations. Inspired by a legacy of generosity and a desire to create lasting community impact, the fund provides a permanent source of support for the pantry's mission.

Today, anyone can contribute to the Forever Fund, helping build a stronger, more sustainable future for neighbors facing food insecurity.
