 Stuff A Truck in Bemidji needs the community's help to get as many items to the Bemidji community food shelf as possible before the holiday season. From 6 in the morning to 10 at night donations of food, personal care items and monetary gifts can be made at marketplace food and drug in Bemidji. Last year Stuff A Truck collected over 15,000 pounds for the food shelf. So far they are sitting at more than 11,000 pounds of donations. Stuff A Truck happens during a time when donations are needed the most. The food shelf has a lot of demand especially during the winter months. People have a lot of added expenses such as the holidays and heating fuel and stuff like that. So it's very important to collect as much as we can this time of year to get through winter and then the cash donations go a lot farther than a physical donation because they can purchase food items at a lower cost than what we can actually donate them for. Donated items can be given to volunteers wearing red Stuff A Truck vests or during checkout at Marketplace Foods.
