For the 2026 Misfits Market Expo we are giving back and will be partnering with

RIFA located in Jackson, TN, to host a food and funds booth drive during the two day event.

We have chosen this organization because they are local to our community and through their multiple missions they demonstrate a strong and passionate value towards community impact. 

​

RIFA exists because food insecurity is a major problem in Jackson-Madison County.

According to Feeding America, 26.4% of children in Madison County are food-insecure.

United Way of West Tennessee reports that 47% of all households in Jackson

live in poverty or earn just above the federal poverty level but not enough to make ends meet.

​

Since Misfits Market Expo is a free admission event, we will be encouraging all attendees to bring non-perishable food items or a monetary donation to the event and bringing it to the designated booth we have set up for the drive.

In return, EVERY ITEM and EVERY DOLLAR donated will count for 1 entry ticket into a drawing for a chance to win an "Ultimate Misfits Market Expo Giveaway Bundle"

All items in the bundle are donated by our 2026 vendors.

The more you donate the more entries you get!

**For example 3 food items = 3 tickets / $10 monetary donation = 10 tickets**

Below is a list of common items that can be brought to our Food and Funds drive for RIFA
