☀️Thank You to all our Summer Food Program Supporters! ☀️
This summer we packed 3,220 food bags for youth across Carlton County and this could not have happened without the support of you, our community.
Over 400 volunteer hours from individuals and local organizations made packing these bags possible. From bringing food to the packing site, unpacking food, putting food in bags, clean-up, delivery, staffing pick-up sites, the packing process is quite an undertaking. We could not have done it without the many hands from The Green House MN, Stock Tire & Auto , Ecolibrium3, Nemadji, Esko Schools National Honor Society, and The Official Black Bear Casino Resort.
Before the food even gets packed, before the concept could become a reality, we had many backers for the project. A huge THANK YOU to Project Joy , Boreal Waters Community Foundation, Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Essentia Health, and Washington Elementary PIE - Cloquet, MN for leading the charge in getting this project going.
Together, we made sure Carlton County youth had access to nutritious food they enjoyed all summer. Thanks to all who supported the Summer Food Program!
