Donate

$1 becomes 4 meals on a family's table.

Choose an amount below. Your gift is processed securely and goes straight to work feeding our neighbors in Rice Lake and Barron County.

Why donations matter

Food acquisition is our single largest cost. Every dollar you give helps us purchase nutritious food in bulk at wholesale prices that no individual shopper could match. Our partnerships with regional food banks turn $1 into roughly $4 of food on a family's table.

Donations also fund the Weekend Backpack Program for kids, senior nutrition boxes, mobile pantries that reach underserved corners of the county, and the annual Holiday Meals program that feeds hundreds of families each November and December.

Your impact

  • $20 → 80 meals
  • $50 → 200 meals — a week of dinners for a family of four
  • $100 → 400 meals
  • $250 → a month of groceries for a family of four
  • $500 → a full Weekend Backpack program slot for the school year
  • $1,000 → stocks a senior nutrition route for two months

Donation transparency

Roughly 92 cents of every donated dollar supports food, programs, and direct services. The remaining 8 cents covers building, insurance, utilities, and lean administrative work. We publish annual Form 990s and an annual report, and welcome donor questions. We Share Food Pantry Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 39-1575345) — your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
