 The Bemidji Community Food Shelf and the local post office are trying to stamp out hunger with a food drive. The annual food drive is put on by the post office and the food shelf is the recipient of the food that comes in. Anyone can donate food as long as it's not frozen or refrigerated. Just leave the food by your mailbox or your door and the postal carrier will pick it up. It's often hard for people who are living very marginally to afford gas. If their car breaks down then they have to pay to have that fixed. There are many many challenges in our area and so our food shelf provides that little extra support for people. A trailer will be parked at the post office the day of the drive then it will come back to the food shelf to deliver the food.
