The River Food Pantry

Participants at a past Curbside Breakfast with the Bunny event.

That’s right, Easter is actually next weekend but you can get a hop on the spring holiday at this fundraiser for The River Food Pantry. Drive-through service includes French toast sticks, fruit, milk, juice, and breakfast sandwiches prepared by the legendary Melly Mell’s Soul Food. The Easter Bunny will be there for photo ops and handing out free goodie bags for kids. This is a pay-what-you-can event and if you can pay, please do; it’s a benefit for The River, one of Dane County’s crucial food pantries, located at 2201 Darwin Road, near the airport.

media release: “Everybunny” is invited to Curbside Breakfast with the Bunny on Saturday, April 12 from 8:00–10:30 am at The River Food Pantry (2201 Darwin Rd)!

This drive-thru event will offer to-go breakfasts for the whole family, including French toast sticks, fruit, milk, and juice. Meals will also feature breakfast sandwiches prepared by Melly Mell’s Soul Food, which has won The River’s Sips & Slices competition fundraiser for best brunch and pizza slices the past two years.

The Easter Bunny will be taking photos with cars and giving children free goodie bags filled with treats and fun activities. Children must be present to receive a goodie bag.

Once again, this will be a pay-what-you-can event. Proceeds will benefit The River—Dane County’s busiest food pantry.

“Last year, this popular Northside celebration brought ‘hoppy-ness’ to our community and raised $6,000 for our pantry!” said Rhonda Adams, Executive Director of The River. “We can’t wait for another morning filled with smiles, hugs, and high fives with our favorite bunny.”

Volunteers are needed to help prepare and distribute meals and goodie bags. To sign up, please contact Helen at helen@riverfoodpantry.org.
