The Great Plains Food Bank (GPFB) is honored to announce that we have opened the nomination process for 2021 Agency of the Year! This is the highest award we offer our hunger relief partners, and we need your help to identify them!

The Great Plains Food Bank lives by the values of Passion, Service, & Innovation and we honor our partners adopting these values through our collaborative community partnerships.
Passion: Shows compassion, heart, and a tireless determination to end hunger along with an enthusiasm that inspires colleagues and community members to join them in their work.
Service: Goes above and beyond to meet the needs of clients, and increase collaboration and engagement with community members, donors or volunteers.
Innovation: Advances the collaborative mission to end hunger by developing creative solutions, new ideas, enhanced programs and services, or more efficient processes or systems.
Do you know one of our partners in your community that lives out these values through their work within the community? A program that not only focuses on feeding people today, but with a vision to end hunger tomorrow? We invite you to nominate them! We are looking for nominations of partners and programs that show passion in their client-centered work, are innovative, customer service focused and continually work to ensure no person or family goes to bed hungry.
