The Northside Business Association has canceled the 2020 Breakfast with Santa event amid rising COVID-19 numbers. Plans are to resume the event Dec. 4, 2021. The popular event held for the past decade had a twofold mission:
- To provide a fun event for Northside children to sit on Santa’s lap and enjoy a hot breakfast, and
- To benefit Northside food pantries.
The Breakfast with Santa event annually raised over $6,500 along with nonperishable food donations for the food pantries. With thousands of our friends and neighbors out of work due to COVID-19, local food pantries have seen a rise in families needing assistance with food and basic supplies. The River Food Pantry and Lakeview Lutheran Church Food Pantry continue to help, but these Northside food pantries need support more than ever to meet the growing needs of
our community.
Can you help? We’re asking those who are able in the community to please consider mailing a check to one or both food pantries with NBA in the memo line:
- The River Food Pantry: 2201 Darwin Road, Madison, WI 53704
- Lakeview Lutheran Church Food Pantry: 4001 Mandrake Road, Madison, WI 53704
