The Fertile-Beltrami National Honor Society sponsored a fundraising drive in the Fertile-Beltrami Schools to raise money for North Country Food Bank.  On November 11, 2010, the National Honor Society presented Susie Novak, executive director of North Country Food Bank, with a check in the amount of $491.29 to help feed people in need during the upcoming holiday season.

As part of this event, several 7th and 8th grade math classes competed to raise the most funds.  Additionally, a group from the elementary school held a bake sale and contributed the proceeds to the fundraising drive.

"It is great to see school groups get involved in the fight against hunger," said Novak.  The National Honor Society was excited to make a difference and to donate to North Country where every dollar can help provide food for up to five meals.  "This is definitely our busy season at the food bank.  More people need help during the holiday season.  We are very grateful for the donation from the National Honor Society," said Novak.

There couldn’t be a more meaningful time than now to take a stand against hunger.  Remember, hunger doesn't take a break during the holidays or any day.  All contributions help enusre that children, families and seniors in our communities have enough to eat during the holidays and every day.

Minnesota Dehydrated Vegetables, Inc. Makes Donation with Special Acknowledgement of Larry & Diane Altringer

The fight against hunger in northwest and west central Minnesota received strong support today as Minnesota Dehydrated Vegetables, Inc., (MDV) of Fosston, MN, donated over 47,000 pounds - which is more than a truckload - of food to North Country Food Bank, Inc.

The donation was made possible by MDV, with special acknowledgment to co-owners Larry and Diane Altringer. "There are thousands of hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are faced with the realities of hunger,” said Jim Noyes, General Manager of MDV. "Many people don't realize the scope of hunger in their own community. We hope that by making this donation, we're not only helping feed those in need, but also bringing awareness to the issue of hunger in northwest Minnesota."

Nationally, one in eight Americans are at risk of hunger. Locally, approximately 4,200 people receive emergency food assistance during any given week in the 21 counties North Country serves in northwest and west central Minnesota. North Country works with more than 210 local nonprofit agencies to distribute this food to people in need. This year, North Country will distribute over 4 million pounds of food.

MDV has been in the business of producing and selling high quality dehydrated vegetables since their inception in 1990. The company has made a name for itself by building a strong reputation for producing high quality products. Along with several standard products, including dehydrated and infusion puffed vegetables, MDV also provides custom products, custom processing, custom granulating and blending.

"We are very grateful for Minnesota Dehydrated Vegetable, Inc.’s support in the fight against hunger," said Susie Novak, executive director of North Country Food Bank. "This donation of pasta blend is especially valuable to people in need at this time. We are fast approaching the winter and the holiday seasons when people need help more than ever."
