About River Food Pantry & Munch Truck
Launched in 2016, Munch is our mobile meals program that delivers free healthy meals to children and adults in over a dozen low-income neighborhoods throughout Madison.

Neighborhoods served by Munch have large populations of children eligible for free school lunch.

Open Studio with Artist-in-Residence Phil Hassett
Tuesday, Jul 2, 2024, 4:30pm to 6:30pm
Join Pinney Library's 2024 Artist-in-Resident, Phil Hassett for weekly Open Studio letterpress printing!
Most Tuesdays, 4:30-6:30 pm, May-Nov 2024
Title: Call & Response
"Taking inspiration from jazz and improvisational musical practices, this residency will use letterpress printmaking to explore many levels of interplay and collaboration between text & layout, word & image, letter & ornament, color & form, and artist & community. Over the course of the residency we will work with wood & metal type and ornaments to print at a variety of sizes—from buttons to posters, and we’ll explore layering, iterative collaboration, and ways that the rigid grids of letterpress type can be used as a foundation for both carefully planned and improvisational prints. We’ll explore the use of letters to create images and the use of ornaments to create letterforms, how communities shape words and stories and how words and stories shape communities. Along the way we’ll get a little inky, and have a lot of fun."
About Phil:
He is a letterpress printer living in Madison, WI, where he maintains a small collection of historic printing presses and a growing collection of historic and modern printing type. A lifelong musician, he named his print studio Washboard Press because of the sound one of his presses makes, and because he enjoys doing by hand what is now more usually done in a more automated way.

Anime Club: Crunchy Summer
Tuesday, Jul 2, 2024, 4:30pm to 5:45pm
Anime is a niche subject that few talk about but many enjoy. However, access to it can be difficult. Finding a good starting point is also a bit of controversy. Fortunately here at Meadowridge we have staff with over two decades of experience! From the gritty 90’s anime to the over saturation of Isekai we have experience in it all. This summer we are prepared to dive into the highest anticipated anime of 2024. Some titles include Solo Leveling, Mashle, Spy X Family Season 2 and many more! The purpose of Anime club is to bring together a common love for this timeless genre. We offer a safe space for all people to come and watch these explosive shows. On occasion we will have samples of Japanese treats, such as Pokki, Gourmet Ramen and more.
