Charity Efforts:
La Crosse, Wisconsin, 2024:
Sharing monetary gifts with non-profit organizations, like the Hunger Task Force of La Crosse, who focus their efforts on combating hunger and fighting food insecurity, is Bucket of Bread’s why.

What does Bucket of Bread do with donated buckets?
The answer to this question instills a great feeling knowing the better and bigger this business becomes, the more good it will achieve in the world.
Customers may purchase donation buckets of dough mix online, which Bucket of Bread makes, and then delivers directly to the partnered food banks for distribution directly to those in need.
In addition to collecting donated bucket from customers, every purchase helps raise needed funds for a good cause. At least 10% of yearly profits are dedicated as monetary gifts to charities where combating food insecurity and fighting hunger in America are part of their mission statement.
Please reach out, if you’d like to learn more. And again, thank you for spreading awareness and support.
It Starts with Your Kindness:
You may add a donated bucket when ordering your own delicious dough mix kits. It all starts with you.

LA CROSSE, WI
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO DONATED! Bucket of Bread received notification we had just over 2,900 items donated to the Thrivent Cans Hunger Drive. When you factor in cash donations, Bucket of Bread donations, and include the donors who declined filling out the tally sheet, we met or surpassed 3,000 individual items donated to the pantries. This means, Thrivent started the paperwork to gift each pantry with $3,000. This is a total of $9,000 going back into the community to fight food insecurities!

LA CROSSE, WI
The Thrivent Member Network – South Wisconsin is partnering with Bucket of Bread, From the Heart Food Pantry, Onalaska Emergency Food Basket, and WAFER to organize a summer generosity event called Thrivent Cans Hunger. During this three hour event, the Thrivent Member Network – South Wisconsin will donate $3 for every non-perishable food and personal care item collected up to $9,000. Join us on Tuesday, July 27 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at Bridgeview Plaza (2400 Rose St, La Crosse) to help stock food pantry shelves and meet our Thrivent Can’s Hunger goal of collecting 3,000 items! Thrivent Cans Hunger will be held as a drive through event. Visitors will remain in their vehicle and drive through stations where volunteers will receive their donations, collect donor information and hand out thank you gifts (from Bucket of Bread). According to Feeding America, “Due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, more than 42 million people may experience food insecurity, including a potential 13 million children. Many households that experience food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs and visit their local food banks and other food programs for extra support.”
