PIERCE & ST. CROIX COUNTIES, WI — The West Wind Supper Club and the Free Clinic of Pierce & St. Croix Counties are once again partnering to bring the community together for the Annual Free-Will Christmas Buffet Breakfast on Thursday, December 25, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the West Wind Supper Club, 709 N. Main Street, River Falls.
This long-standing River Falls tradition offers a festive holiday breakfast free of charge, while inviting guests to support the Free Clinic through free-will donations. All proceeds directly benefit the Clinic’s mission to provide free, high-quality healthcare to uninsured and underinsured adults in Pierce and St. Croix Counties.
Each year, West Wind donates all food, kitchen support, and space for the event, while staff and volunteers from West Wind, the Free Clinic, and the local community generously give their time to make the breakfast possible.
“The Christmas Breakfast is a beautiful example of what makes this community so special,” said Mary Conroy-Johnson, co-founder of the Free Clinic. “Every donation received goes straight to supporting essential medical care — from clinic visits and medications to chronic disease management. This event truly brings the spirit of giving to life.”
Guests are welcome to dine in or take a to-go box. No reservations are required, and no alcoholic beverages will be served, as the event is run solely by volunteers. Donation envelopes will be available on each table for easy giving.
Fabulous Board Chair, Julie Ducklow said, “We are profoundly grateful to West Wind Supper Club and Kevin Pechacek for their generous gift of a Christmas morning breakfast. Their labor of love is a shining example of community spirit and a true testament to the joy of the season.”
