Gift will provide food for 100,000 meals for individuals living with hunger
FARGO, N.D. – Chord Energy is making a difference for children, older adults and families experiencing food insecurity across North Dakota and Clay County, Minn., with a $50,000 donation to the Great Plains Food Bank. The gift will support the Great Plains Food Bank’s efforts to recover surplus food that otherwise would go to waste and get it into the hands of our neighbors who need it most.
“As we continue to see a rise in need for food assistance at a time when food donations remain low, having partners like Chord Energy step up with this substantial investment helps us navigate this reality and get food for 100,000 meals to our neighbors in need,” Great Plains Food Bank CEO Melissa Sobolik said. “For many, this gift means there will actually be a meal on the table tonight. We are so grateful to Chord Energy for their generosity to help build strong families and communities.”
Last year, the Great Plains Food Bank supplied 11.4 million pounds, providing food for 11.1 million meals to 156,000 individuals – 35% were children and 14% seniors.
“Food like energy is a vital necessity. Food fuels the spirit and mind which helps unlock the gifts innate in all of us. Chord Energy is honored to support the Great Plains Food Bank as they provide nutrition and hope to individuals and families across the region,” states Kevin Kelly, Vice President of Environment and Sustainability for Chord Energy.
The Great Plains Food Bank is committed to ending hunger together. Alongside partners like Chord Energy, the organization strives to end hunger today, tomorrow and for good for the one in five North Dakotans who currently seek food assistance from the organization and its partner network of charitable feeding programs.
