About River Food Pantry & Munch Truck

Launched in 2016, Munch(link is external) is our mobile meals program that delivers free healthy meals to children and adults in over a dozen low-income neighborhoods throughout Madison. Each meal contains a sandwich or main menu item, a fruit or vegetable, a grain, a treat, and a drink. Everyone is welcome to take home a free meal. No registration or ID is required.

Neighborhoods served by Munch have large populations of children eligible for free school lunch. To bridge the gap that exists when school lunch is not available, Munch operates up to 6 days per week, Monday–Saturday, any time school cafeterias are closed (including breaks and periods of remote learning).

For any questions or comments, please contact the Munch staff at munch@riverfoodpantry.org(link sends e-mail) or (608) 661-1223.

Cross stitch and needle arts have undergone a really cool revitalization and transformation over the past few years. With amazing patterns ranging from traditional-style samplers to Pokemon to fungi to robots and beyond, there's something for everyone in this slow art form. 

Come see how the craft might interest and benefit you - it's enjoyable, meditative, and fun. And at the end of a project you have something unique that you created yourself! Whether you're just beginning this journey or are an experienced stitcher, join us for inspiration, creative ideas, and community.
