CHS Harvest for Hunger Raises Two Million Meals
More than two million meals are headed for hungry families thanks to the first ever CHS Harvest for Hunger food and funds drive by the Country Operations division of CHS, Inc., a leading energy, grains and foods company. The Great Plains Food Bank in ND, North Country Food Bank in Northern MN and Feeding South Dakota were all recipients of the CHS gifts. The Great Plains Food Bank received over $70,000 in the campaign.

In only 18 days, CHS employees, customers and partner worked together to collect 314,162 pounds of food and $247,935 in cash and grain. "We are very grateful for the food and fund drive partnership with CHS," says Steve Sellent, Program Director for the Great Plains Food Bank, "the money donated will go a long way towards ending hunger in our communities in North Dakota and Clay County MN."

CHS Harvest for Hunger doubled their goal of one million meals for hungry families, and for every dollar donated by the community CHS reinvested back into the Food Bank to help our friends and neighbors. Fundraising activities varied at each location and included such events as serving a pancake breakfast, hosting a taco salad day and providing grocery-bagging services.
