Agency of the Year Nominations

The Great Plains Food Bank is pleased to announce the open nomination process for the Agency of the Year award.

The Great Plains Food Bank works with a network of 267 nonprofit charitable feeding programs in 95 communities across North Dakota and western Minnesota dedicated to hunger relief, such as food pantries, soup kitchens and emergency shelters. This spring one of them will be presented with the first annual Agency of the Year award.

Nominations will be accepted until Friday, February 29, 2012.

The nominator will answer five simple questions including:
Contact information for the nominee
Why they believe the agency should win
What difference the agency makes in their community
Scope of their hunger-relief activities
Nominator’s relationship to the agency.

In addition, each nomination form must be accompanied by at least two letters of recommendation. While agencies are not allowed to nominate themselves, they can be nominated by community members, volunteers and/or their clients.
