RAFP Spring Challenge
March/April 2026
Each Spring the Rhinelander Area Food Pantry challenges local residents to contribute to the Annual RAFP Spring Challenge. All monetary donations, pledges, and food donations will be matched by a pair of generous donors. That means your donation gets an increase! To help during the RAFP Spring Challenge, monetary donations can be made through our website, mailed directly to the RAFP PO Box 1306, Rhinelander, WI 54501. Donations of non-perishable food items can also be dropped off at the RAFP at 627 Coon Street from 9am to 12pm Monday through Friday.
