The pandemic may be over, but Americans are still facing hunger and food insecurity. In fact, there is no community across the United States where hunger doesn’t exist and the need for food is still great. In North Dakota, one in six individuals do not have enough food to eat each day, including more than 47,000 children.

Local dairy-brand Cass-Clay Creamery is taking action in partnership with Hornbacher’s to provide much-needed nourishment for families in North Dakota with a large donation to the Great Plains Food Bank. Representatives from each organization gathered inside the Great Plains Food Bank warehouse recently (shown above), to celebrate a donation of 24,576 Giving Cow milk cartons to the Great Plains Food Bank. The milk will immediately be made available throughout our network of 200 partner food pantries, shelters and soup kitchens across North Dakota and Clay County, Minn., and our programs and services.

Thank you for your work in the fight to end hunger!
