Holiday Donation Express

Description

River Falls residents and businesses are invited to drive thru, donate, and
smile at the Holiday Donation Express event on Saturday, December 12th from 12:00pm-3:00pm.
 
Donations collected will go to support those in the community through the partnering organization, Our Neighbors’ Place, Inc.
 
Holiday Donation Express is hosted by a group of University of Wisconsin- River Falls Marketing Communications students who want to make an impact on the community of River Falls, WI this holiday season like never before. By partnering with Our Neighbors’ Place, the event will provide communities, neighbors, and kids alike the food, clothing and desperately needed supplies and warmth they would be missing this holiday season. River Falls residents are encouraged to bring family, friends, and furry four-legged friends for memorable socially distant holiday photo with Santa and spread holiday cheer with this great COVID-friendly holiday experience.
 
The Holiday Donation Express is presented by the Kinnic Veterinary Service and welcomes all individuals and four-legged friends to participate in the contactless drive thru at the WESTconsin Credit Union Donation Station. Donors will drive up and open their trunk for Santa’s elves to grab out the bag of donated items. Participants and supporters are encouraged to donate nonperishable food items, hygiene products and household items and/or monetary donations to benefit the community on behalf of Our Neighbors’ Place. Once the unloading of donations is complete, the donor will drive to the River Falls Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau Holiday Photo Opportunity where they will wear their masks, roll their windows down, and smile for a socially distant photo with Santa. The experience will be complete, and donors can find their final photos posted on the Holiday Donation Express Facebook page at @HolidayDonationExpress. Families and individuals with a last name between A-M are encouraged to attend the event between 12:00pm-1:30pm and families and individuals with last names between N-Z are encouraged to attend the event between 1:30pm-3:00pm.
