North Country Food Bank has been serving non-profit agencies in Beltrami County for nearly 33 years. Our entire service area includes 21 counties in northwest and west central Minnesota as well as parts of Grand Forks, ND. Please join us to learn how food banks are the backbone of the domestic hunger relief system. Our food bank has grown tremendously in the last 7 years. Although we serve some of the poorest counties in the state, we also cover the Red River Valley that is rich with potatoes, dry beans and a variety of fresh produce. North Country Food Bank has had a profound effect on hunger - locally, statewide and nationally. We are part of the Feeding America network of 200 food banks around the United States that capture large donations of surplus food and make it available to local agencies.
