Redistribution Community Partnerships
The River Food Pantry has become the first redistribution organization (RDO) of Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin. As an RDO, The River can redirect food sourced from Second Harvest to other local organizations throughout Dane County.
Through this RDO agreement, The River is allowed to formalize redistribution community partnerships with local organizations in need of support. Our partners receive donations of excess food and/or household goods from The River depending on the agency’s needs and The River’s inventory. This initiative helps to increase access to food and resources while minimizing waste in Dane County.
