The Great Plains Food Bank is grateful that it has received a $150,000 grant from the Otto Bremer Trust (OBT), an organization dedicated to investing in people, places, and opportunities that strengthen communities across Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Support from the Otto Bremer Trust strengthened the Great Plains Food Bank’s overall operations, increasing the efficiency and reach of our food recovery and distribution efforts. This investment expanded our direct food recovery programs and reinforced our partnerships with local pantries, enhancing statewide capacity to safely rescue, store, and distribute nutritious food. Together, these improvements reflect the power of community-driven solutions to reduce waste and ensure more families across North Dakota and Clay County have access to the food they need, when they need it most.
“This generous support from the Otto Bremer Trust bolsters the essential day-to-day work that keeps food moving to the neighbors who need it.” said Marcia Paulson, Chief Philanthropy Officer of the Great Plains Food Bank. “We’re beyond grateful to have a partner like Otto Bremmer Trust who assist in strengthening our overall capacity to allow us to reach more neighbors, reduce food waste, and ensure nutritious food is available across North Dakota and Clay County.”
The Great Plains Food Bank extends heartfelt gratitude to the Otto Bremer Trust for its continued partnership and commitment to creating healthier, hunger-free communities. Together, we are building sustainable solutions to ensure that every neighbor has consistent access to the food they need.
