Great Plains Food Bank Statement…
Childhood hunger is a year-round issue, but the problem is especially critical during the summer months when children do not have access to school lunch or breakfast. This is why we launched the Great Plains Food Bank Youth Summer Meals Program to give kids the chance to have a meal when other options may not be available.
The Stutsman County Fair is quickly approaching and there are still a few spots that need to be filled. Please consider signing up and helping with this fundraiser for the MPB communities: https://signup.com/go/qFXFoSr
