North Country Food Bank

North Country Food Bank, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was incorporated in 1983, and is located in East Grand Forks, MN. The concept was simple – capture surplus food from the USDA, food manufacturers, grocery retail outlets and farmers to feed hungry people. We can capture donations that are too large for local agencies to handle. Today, North Country distributes food to over 220 charitable organizations on an annual basis.

North Country’s service area covers 21 counties in northwest and west central Minnesota and part of Grand Forks, North Dakota. North Country is a member of Feeding America, and helps make up a sophisticated non-profit food distribution network of 201 food banks focused on domestic hunger.
