GIVE TO WILDER

Wilder Tools for School Success Drive

July 15 - August 31, 2026

Providing school supplies annually to students served by Wilder.

Support students in Wilder Programs through donations of healthy snacks. Whether you choose to make one or 100 snack packs, know that your donation supports students in our community by providing nutritious options for a light meal at home or school.

We will be accepting snack packs throughout the school year.

Due to the generosity of the Greater Twin Cities United Way, our backpack needs have been fulfilled for this year. We are deeply grateful for their continued support of students in the Twin Cities through their annual Action Day.

Snack Pack Drive

Snack packs on table assembled for Wilder programs

Step 1: Buy snacks.

Each snack pack should have:
  • 1 cup of single-serve macaroni and cheese
  • 1 granola bar
  • 1 applesauce pouch
  • 1 fruit cup or 2 fruit strip snacks
  • 1 single-serve bag of pretzels and cracker

Step 2: Pack your snack items into a 1 gallon zipper-top bag.

Place all items into a gallon-size zip top plastic bag, remove the air from the bag, and seal. Avoid snacks that contain nuts or peanut butter, snacks with foil lids, water bottles, and glass containers.

Step 3: Schedule a time to drop your filled snack packs at Wilder Center.

Snack packs will be accepted July 28 – August 18, 2026. A Wilder staff member will meet you in the Wilder Center lobby to accept your donations. If a drop-off slot is full or you need a time that is not listed, please email [email protected]
