Great Plains Food Bank

1 in 12 North Dakotans seek emergency food assistance each year. Nearly half of those seeking help are children.

Feeding Hope
The Great Plains Food Bank touches the lives of more than 52,000 children, seniors and working families each year who struggle with, or are at risk of hunger. Each year over 5 million pounds of surplus food is donated by local, regional and national food industry partners. This food is then distributed to people in need through our statewide network of 230 member food shelves, emergency shelters, soup kitchens and other charitable feeding program in 80 communities.
