One in 12 North Dakotans is served by the North Dakota charitable feeding network each year – this at a time when donations of shelf-stable food are decreasing and demand for the emergency food is increasing.

In response to these findings, the Great Plains Food Bank is launching several new initiatives to better serve clients statewide in partnership with Community Action Programs and local groups.
