Our 2025 Goal - 6000 Food Items!

Our 22nd year continued the tradition of success. Donations from our sponsors, the community, and our friends at Oktoberfest helped us donate almost 6600 food items to the Coulee Region's hungry. The meter directly below shows the cumulative progress from all groups for 2025. 

Please note: We are all feeling the effects of inflation and a dollar doesn't go as far as it used to. At Jeep Food Ride, we only purchase staple items such as canned fruits and vegetables, soups, cereals, baking goods, pasta and sauces, and other essential items. When we started Jeep Food Ride, each food item we purchased cost less than $1, on average. In 2024, that cost was about $2 per food item. Every food item and every dollar makes a difference - no donation is too small and every donation is appreciated!

Total Donations For 2025

Donation Totals By Group

Our partnership with Oktoberfest USA is a big piece of our success. The combined contributions from the past and present Festmasters, Mrs. Oktoberfests, Royal Family members and Grenadiers make a big impact. 

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]
