Partners
Why
you should choose to partner with the RRVP?
 By
bringing people together from organizations, businesses,
religious groups, and individuals from the community,
we are united in our cause to create an awareness
of hunger in our community. Once the awareness of
this issue has been raised, we can then begin to
eliminate hunger in Winnebago County.
