As we step into September, we're excited to celebrate Hunger Action Month—a crucial time for raising awareness about the fight against hunger. This month, we join forces with individuals, organizations, and communities across the country to spotlight the critical issue of food insecurity and drive meaningful change.

Hunger Action Month is not just about recognizing the problem -- it’s about taking ACTION!!

By coming together, we can amplify our efforts to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Your support is vital in helping us provide nutritious meals and vital resources to those in need.

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news!

The Community Food Bank has finalized the acquisition of 7th St. Deli and transform it into a new initiative:

7th St. Community Cafe.

The Community Cafe will be more than just a place to enjoy a meal—it will be a beacon of hope and opportunity.

7th St. Community Cafe will serve as a skills-building social enterprise, providing delicious and nutritious food while generating revenue to support hunger relief programming.

But we need your help to make this vision a reality.

The previous owners of the 7th St. Deli loved the Community Cafe concept so much they worked with us to reduce the selling price by $25,000!!!

There is a long way to go and we 100% need the community to get behind the project in a BIG way to take this beloved institution into a new chapter of nourishing our Grand Valley neighbors!!

Estimated open date of the

7th St. Community Cafe

is early 2025
