The Fight Against Hunger: Community Meeting In Williston May 30

The Great Plains Food Bank, North Dakota's largest hunger-relief organization and the state's sole food bank, is dedicated to recovering surplus food from various industry partners. This food, which would otherwise go to waste, is distributed to those in need across North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota.

With nine distinct programs targeting children, seniors, and rural communities, the Great Plains Food Bank works tirelessly to combat hunger. Their extensive network includes 200 partner food pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens, ensuring comprehensive coverage throughout North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota. Each year, more than 100,000 individuals benefit from their services.

In 2017, the Great Plains Food Bank launched Ending Hunger 2.0, an initiative focused on addressing the root causes of hunger to reduce food insecurity.

Kids these days don't know what they're missing out on! But hey, let's be real, some of those old car features were pretty awesome. Yeah, they might've been a bit risky and even tried to kill us, but they made our rides feel way cooler.
