With the recent events in our community, we want to help.
We preach buy local, and now it's our time to give back local.

Tomorrow, Monday 4/20, we will be Donating a percentage of sales to tornado disaster relief.

If you would like to help towards this, stop in Monday and have a meal. If you want to purchase gift cards and donate them towards our relief efforts directly to families, please let our staff know. We know there are plenty of other efforts towards recovery, but everyone needs a meal. If you wish to donate other items, we encourage you to take them to the Ringle Fire Department, and the Weston YMCA during their donation drop off times.

Thank you for being part of our community!

In response to tonight's tornado, the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin is partnering with United Way of Marathon County to support those impacted.

If you or someone you know needs help, call 2-1-1 to report damage and get connected to shelter, food, and recovery resources.

We’ve also launched an Emergency Relief Fund to respond quickly to urgent needs and support long-term recovery.

You can help by donating here: https://cfoncw.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=8227

Together, we rebuild.

EDIT 4/19 1:10PM — We appreciate the community’s quick response when our neighbors are in need. As we await the Marathon County Emergency Management Assessment, right now the best thing to do to help with the efforts in Ringle is to donate to the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin’s Emergency Relief fund.

Thank you for helping us take care of our community! 💙
