impossible choice (watch our video with Feeding America above)
Donate diapers to help those in need
The state's only member of the National Diaper Bank Network, the Great Plains Food Bank is hosting a diaper drive throughout the month of September.

Diapers are a critical need for struggling families and remain one of the most requested items by our network of food pantries.

If you have the means to give, drop off diaper donations at either our Fargo (1720 3rd Avenue North) or Bismarck (1315 South 20th Street) locations.
Help us Stock the Shelves this Hunger Action Month
We are pleased to have teamed up with Corwin Automotive Group and Valley News Live to Stock the Shelves ahead of the holiday season.

Our friends at Corwin are matching $50,000 of YOUR gifts to the Stock the Shelves campaign in hopes of raising enough to provide 300,000 meals for those in need.
Highlights from a great day for hunger-relief
After a brief hiatus as a result of COVID-19, the Great Plains Food Bank annual Packathon returned to both Bismarck and Fargo. Volunteer groups took action by packing meals that will soon be made available for struggling children, seniors and families.

While the Fargo Packathon is currently happening inside our warehouse, groups from Scheels, First Western Bank & Trust, N.D. Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives and Choice Bank gathered Tuesday in Bismarck to pack more than 7,800 meals!
Check out highlights from a great day for hunger-relief in Bismarck Tuesday.
CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: Jenae Bowen
Jenae Bowen knows her family is in a rough patch and that they hopefully soon will be able to start giving back. But currently as medical bills have piled up for treatments for her 11-month-old son's eye issues, the stay at home mom has found the nutrition she needs through the Great Plains Food Bank Mobile Food Pantry each time it stops in Valley City.
