If food alone was the answer to hunger, we would have solved it by now. But we haven't. That's why we launched Ending Hunger 2.0 in February, with press conferences in both Fargo and Bismarck. Ending Hunger 2.0 is the Great Plains Food Bank's bold next step in hunger relief. It's a new approach to ending hunger that's focused on addressing hunger and its root causes holistically through advocacy, research and community based solutions. Our inaugural partner of this ground-breaking work is Sanford Health. We are teaming up with Sanford's Birth Designers to ensure that first time mothers have proper and adequate nutrition at home. They'll screen mothers for food insecurity and if needed, offer them a bag of food immediately, while connecting them to local food pantries and SNAP for longer term food assistance. We could use your help! Next time you are at the grocery store, could you pick up a few of these items? Or could you host a food drive? Click here to find a list of the requested items.
