Pet Food Drive - Saturday May 24
We will be collecting items for our  
 
Reaching Out Program 
at 
Family Fresh 
River Falls, WI 
 
Saturday, May 24 
9am - 5pm

How it works: 
When you enter the store you pick up a "wish list" from one of our greeters. This is a list of items we need to help support local pet owners in keeping their pets in their homes. You purchase items on the list and bring them to us as you leave the store. Our Reaching Out program distributes these items to individuals in need of support for their pets and to local food pantries.

Please come join us and help keep pets with their people!
