What We Do

Our Neighbors' Place offers a wide range of programs and services to support our neighbors.

Backpack Program

Since 2010, Our Neighbors’ Place Backpack Program, a partnership with Ezekiel Lutheran Church and the River Falls School District, has provided food to students on weekends during the school year when other resources, such as free and reduced-price school lunches, are not available. The program provides backpacks full of nutritious, kid friendly groceries to kids (K-12) whose families are experiencing financial hardship in the River Falls School District. Distributing over 20,000 pounds of food annually, this program serves an average of 120 hungry children each week. 

The Day Center

Since 2009, The Day Center has functioned as a one-stop shop for homeless and low-income social services. In addition to access to other providers, we offer laundry, a mailing address, taxi and gas vouchers for transportation to work and doctors appointments, phone, a public shower, and access to a kitchen and food. Guests also have an option to work with a professional case manager to address their individual situation. 


Transitional Housing for Families

Our Neighbors' Place operates a Transitional Housing for Families in River Falls, WI. for residents of  St. Croix and Pierce Counties. In this program, client families work with a professional case manager for up to 24 months as they work toward achieving their long-term housing, employment, and personal goals. Currently, ONP maintains a recently refurbished 4-plex building, consisting of two 2-bedroom and 2-three bedroom units. 


The Closet

Located at the Day Center for ease of access, our Community Closet is available for both guests and the general public alike. For those struggling to find affordable clothing, we offer redeemable clothing vouchers which allow guests to shop for free. For the public, we offer very low pricing. Funds generated through the sale of clothing supports Our Neighbors' Place programming.
