What is the Great Plains Food Bank?
Thanks to your help, the Great Plains Food Bank provides needed food assistance to more than 150,000 individuals each year.

But how do we get this done?

Take a look at our recently released video that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the state's only food bank helping the one in six across North Dakota without enough food to eat each day.
Record-breaking campaign to help those in need
Earlier this year, Hornbacher's and their loyal customers made a record-breaking commitment to the fight to end hunger by raising $114,781 at the checkout lanes through their annual Check Out Hunger campaign. The total is enough to provide more than 344,000 meals for those in need. The donation was the highest in the 27-year history of the campaign, which has now raised more than $746,000 for the Great Plains Food Bank since 1994.


Also providing recent substantial gifts to the Great Plains Food Bank were: Midland National Life Insurance (Sammons) ($30,000); Azimuth World Foundation ($25,000); Offutt Family Foundation ($25,000); Dakotas Conference of the United Methodist Church ($13,000); Arby's Foundation ($6,000); American Family Insurance Dreams Foundation ($5,000); Nexus Innovations ($5,000); Cass County Electric Cooperative Foundation ($5,000); JR Simplot Company Foundation ($5,000).
THANK YOU for helping us Stock the Shelves
Throughout the month of September, we asked you to take action in the fight to end hunger. And you did in a big way!

Thanks to YOUR generosity along with Corwin Automotive Group and Valley News Live, our Stock the Shelves campaign raised an amazing $142,098, which is enough to provide 426,294 meals to help feed those in need.

Thank you for taking action this Hunger Action Month!
CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: Tobi Morgenstern
