Jeep Food Ride 2023

Welcome to the registration for the Jeep Food Ride. Registration is free and easy and enables us to run the evening smoothly. You will need to register each Jeep you are bringing separately if you have more than one Jeep in your group!

The need for help for the hungry in our communities never takes a year off! Make the drive and join us for the lighted parade and food donation. This ride is conducted in conjunction with Rotary Lights, La Crosse. There is no monetary admission but donations are welcome. We do require at least two (2) full grocery bags of non-perishable food per adult on your Jeep.

Can't make it on the 16th? Not a Jeeper? You can still donate below and help us reach our 2023 goal of 6000 food items. Your monetary donation will be applied when we shop in bulk for the food we'll be donating. On average, $1 = 1 food item.

Space is limited to 45 Jeeps! Please do not complete this registration unless you are sure you are able to attend! Thank you for helping us help the hungry! We'll see you on December 16th, 2023!

Our 2023 Goal - 6000 Food Items!

Our 21st year was another great year. Donations from our sponsors, the community, and our friends at Oktoberfest helped us donate over 5400 items of food to the hungry of the Coulee Region. That was about 900 less than 2021 - let's get back over 6000 this year! The meter directly below shows the cumulative progress from all groups for 2023.

Please note this meter above is the actual cash donations plus food items. The competition charts below reflect a bonus in the tally when a donation of $250 or more is made. Therefore, the competition charts will always add up to more than the actual cash plus food donations.

Oktoberfest USA Competition

Each year, the four major groups of Oktoberfest have a friendly food/fundraising competition to help the hungry. Their monetary efforts are shown below and are included in the main meter above. Thank you to everyone at Oktoberfest for helping us help the hungry!

NEW FOR 2023 - Welcome Visiting Dignitaries! The "Vis Digs" are Royal Family members from Festivals who visit Oktoberfest each year including St. Paul Winter Carnival, Festival du Voyageur (Winnipeg), and Minneapolis Aquatenial. Thank you for your support!

Community Donations

The individual donations add up!. Our sponsors, friends, family members from our local community and beyond make a big impact each year.

Still Have Questions?

Visit our About Us and FAQ pages. Please note these links will open in a new window.

The most common question we get is are you a 501c3 charitable organization? The simple answer is no. We have never wanted to spend money on the legal fees it would take to establish a 501c3 instead of spending money on food donations. Our books are open to anyone and we typically carry over less than $100 each year for the purpose of keeping our bank account active. If you are an attorney or know of one who would be willing donate their services to help us set-up a 501c3, please contact us at [email protected]
