Food insecurity is a reality that far too many children and families face every day. No child should have to wonder where their next meal will come from. No student should struggle to learn on an empty stomach. And no family should feel alone when they are doing everything they can just to get by. When you give, you help provide the most basic and powerful gift of all: nourishment, stability, and hope.
Below are three local organizations your donation will support. Together, they are making sure children and families across our community have the food they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
Great Plains Food Bank

Great Plains Food Bank is North Dakota’s largest hunger relief organization, distributing millions of pounds of food each year to communities across the state. In 2024 they provided 13.5 million pounds of food, supported more than 151,000 meals, and served nearly 16 million individuals through their network of food pantries and programs. Every dollar donated provides two nourishing meals, and 95 percent of every gift goes directly toward feeding people. Your generosity helps keep pantry shelves stocked and ensures families have reliable access to healthy food.
Bridging the Gap
Bridging the Gap focuses on making sure students have steady access to food during the times they need it most. Many children depend on school meals, and when school is closed or when families face financial challenges, food insecurity becomes even more severe. Bridging the Gap supports school food pantries and provides meals that students can take home, with a goal of supplying 1,000 school lunches. Your donation helps students stay nourished and ready to learn.
Churches United
Churches United plays a vital role in making sure children and families in our community never have to face hunger alone. Their Dorothy Day Food Pantry provides groceries to hundreds of households every week, many of whom are caring for children who depend on consistent access to healthy food. The pantry often experiences record demand, and every visit represents a family doing its best to get through a difficult time.
Micah’s Mission, a shelter operated by Churches United, prepares hot meals every day for anyone who needs them. Families and children who come through their doors can count on a warm, nutritious meal served with dignity. For families living in their supportive housing communities, Churches United also coordinates food boxes and pantry access so that parents can focus on rebuilding stability without worrying about where the next meal will come from.
Churches United reaches more than 500 people every day, and many of those individuals are children who rely on these programs for nourishment and comfort. Your support helps make sure families have a safe place to turn when food runs short and hope feels out of reach.
Why Your Donation Matters
Your gift supports children and families across our community by keeping food pantries open, filling shelves with nutritious meals, and ensuring that students and families have access to food during the times they need it most. By giving today, you are helping all three of these organizations continue their essential work and making sure local children do not face hunger alone.
Thank you for making a meaningful difference. Your generosity helps feed our community and strengthens the future of every child we serve.
