Stuff A Truck
THANK YOU. Stuff A Truck is over and we are so blessed to have the community support. Nealy 4 tons of food was collected by Luekens Village foods at their stores and from numerous Bemidji area school rooms. Thanks also to Paul Bunyan Broadcasting for their promotional support in our efforts to meet the needs of so many people in our community.
HealthCare
Bemidji Community Food Shelf completed a bit of a face lift recently. A new front and office remodle that will allow us to better serve those in need.
The building was built in 1976, some 47 years ago, and was in need of a face lift. Thanks to Zetah Construction for their work and in kind donation.
