RVC 2026 Auction

River Valley Charities helps children and families across the Wisconsin St. Croix Valley access food and support when they need it most. Too many children in our region do not have consistent access to food outside of school, and many local programs are under-resourced and struggling to keep up with growing demand. 

Each week, RVC supports more than 1,300 children receiving food through local backpack programs. We help strengthen those programs through funding, collaboration, and shared learning, while also expanding access to fresh, nutritious food and grocery vouchers that give families dignity and choice. 

Our work goes beyond backpack programs. RVC brings together food shelves, public health agencies, producers, schools, and other community partners to build a stronger, more connected response to food insecurity and help local programs work together more effectively on behalf of families across our region. 

We also look beyond immediate need. Over the past two years, RVC has developed a financial literacy initiative that provides personalized one-on-one mentorship for individuals and families working toward greater stability. Many participants are referred by partner programs while facing financial hardship and relying on food support, with the goal of helping families build lasting stability so emergency food remains a temporary support, not a way of life. 

Since 2017, River Valley Charities has invested more than $800,000 into local programs and partnerships, helping expand access to food and strengthen support for children and families across the St. Croix Valley. 

Too many children in the St. Croix Valley do not have consistent access to food outside of school. RVC helps feed kids, strengthen local food programs, expand access to fresh, nutritious food, and bring partners together to build a more stable future for children and families across our region.

Since 2017, RVC has invested more than $800,000 in local programs supporting children and families. Proceeds from this auction help continue that work by supporting local programs that provide food, dignity, and hope to families across our region.

Thank you for your support and for helping us create a stronger future for local children and families.
