About River Valley Charities

Five Local Charity Partners United for a Cause

Support multiple local St. Croix Valley humanitarian charities, all at once!


Under the coordination of River Valley Charities, four direct-service, local charities in western Wisconsin with a shared mission of providing food, shelter, and assistance to our less fortunate neighbors are partnering up for the Coldest Night of the Year 2024. These organizations include Grace Place in New Richmond, Hudson Area Backpack and Food Programs and Operation HELP in Hudson, and Our Neighbors' Place in River Falls. All proceeds from the event will be distributed equally among the four direct-service charities.
