SENIOR HUNGER
Ending Hunger Together
Helping seniors in need will always remain a focus for the Great Plains Food Bank. While we serve seniors each day through a number of different programs and services including our mobile food pantry and network of partner food pantries, we are pleased to be able to distribute more than 250,000 pounds of food each year to seniors in need through our senior food pack program.

Partner food pantries:
Our network of 200 partner food pantries, shelters and soup kitchens across North Dakota and Clay County, Minn., provide food each day to seniors in need.
