 With just under a week from Thanksgiving, the Bemidji Community Food Shelf is looking for some help stuffing a truck. Through a collaborative effort with Marketplace Foods and the Stations of Paul Bunyan Broadcasting, volunteers were on hand taking donations and grocery items to fill a large semi-trailer. The tradition of stuffing a truck goes back decades but is a crucial fundraiser for the food shelf as the holidays approach. Over the past few months, the need for food and necessities has dramatically increased. People need to know if they go buy $10, that's wonderful groceries. If they give us the $10, we can buy $20 with it. So we'll take either the food or the money. The Stuff a Truck Food Drive continues through Saturday evening. The Bemidji Community Food Shelf hopes to raise over $4,000 in donations and over 24,000 pounds of food.
