The vast majority of our food needs are provided through the donations of local individuals and businesses. However, there are a number of things that aren't typically donated in enough quantity that we can acqire in bulk through the Great Plains Food Bank and through food-service companies.
If you have any questions regarding food donations (what we can use, how much we can use, etc.), please feel free to contact our Kitchen Manager (Derek Stevens) via email at dstevens@churches-united.org or by phone at 218.236.0372.
