Rucksgiving is an event put together by Kentuckiana Locals that want to give back to our community. We will bring food, toiletries and other goods and donate them to various shelters across Jeffersonville and Louisville.
The goal is to load our rucks and wagons with canned goods, beans, peanut butter, turkeys, hygiene products and carry them to multiple locations over the course of a 5 mile ruck. This is a kid friendly event and the longer you are rucking the lighter your ruck will get with every donation.
The amount of donations will determine the amount of locations and duration of the event. More donations, more impact, more locations.
We will ensure to break this event up into multiple iterations if our donations exceed expectations. Our goal is to get all donations to those that need them.
Optional: CASH/Monetary DONATIONS
I would love for you to donate from our list OR have you show up to the event but if you can't do either and you still want to give to this amazing event, I will share a few options for donation.
NOTE: 100% of this money will be spent. I will have absolutely nothing left and it NEVER will carry over from year to year.
