Hi everyone! We are excited to launch this GoFundMe campaign in support of Grow to Share. Grow to Share is a local River Falls, WI 501(c)3 organization working tirelessly to uplift our community by growing fresh produce that is donated to many area nonprofit organizations and providing garden plots that community members can utilize on a self-chosen fee scale.

So far, during the 2026 growing season, Grow to Share hosted over 200 volunteers this growing season and donated 1,660 pounds of produce to 13 different local partner organizations. This is roughly $7,100 in fair market value of produce donated! Our partner organizations are listed below.

Freddy’s Food Pantry (UWRF)

Kinnic Falls Addiction Rehab

Los Amigos Program

Our Neighbor’s Place

Rise

River Falls Community Food Pantry

River Falls Free Clinic

River Falls High School Food Preservation Class

River Falls High School Future Farmers of America

River Falls Housing Authority

Servant of the Shepherd Church

Spirit of Grace Church

Turningpoint for Victims of Domestic Violence

In 2025, Grow to Share started to gear up to move from Hoffman Park to DeSanctis Park at the the City's direction. This impending move is very costly for Grow to Share and has stretched an already thin budget. While many funds received this year are earmarked for the move, we are still in need of additional funds for our operating budget to close out 2026 and ensure a good start to the 2027 growing season. Grow to Share has two paid employees (a garden manager and an executive director), insurance to host volunteers, water bills, not to mention the need for straw bales, garden tools, hoses, seeds etc.

Your contributions will play a vital role in advancing our mission. Every donation helps strengthen our community and support those in need. Here are just a couple of ways your generosity will make a difference:

· Provide fresh produce to community members during a high time of food uncertainty

· Provide garden plot and access to fresh produce to those that do not have the ability to garden at their homes

· Provide educational opportunities for our local schools and groups to come out and volunteer and learn about our gardens

Thanks to generous donations from the Grow to Share board members and River Falls Rotary the first $1,500 donated will be matched. Your donation, no matter the size, truly matters. Thank you for your kindness and support!
