Emergency Bridge Boxes
Emergency Boxes
For families in immediate need of additional food support, Ripple Effect has emergency food blessing boxes available to help families get by until their next payday, food pantry visit, or food card assistance reload.
Simply stop by the store during open hours and we’ll be happy to help!
Items Accepted
In the past, we received many donations that, while generous, often included items that were difficult for families to use to prepare full meals, or were heavy on processed and unhealthy foods.
Therefore, to meet real needs in our community more effectively, we’ve transitioned to pre-packed “Bridge Boxes” that provide ingredients for 3–5 simple, healthier meals.
Approved non-perishable food items and personal care items, are greatly appreciated! If you would like to donate to help support this program, please see the list below.
Thank you for your continued support!
Donation Drop-Off
Food donations can dropped off at Ripple Effect anytime during open hours. Thank you for helping us stock emergency boxes for area families in immediate need.
Hours:
Monday-Thursday 10 am to 6 pm; Friday & Saturday 10 am to 5 pm.
