Food Bank Output Tops 1,500 Boxes Weekly

The Wolf Point Food Bank has been getting a lot of food out to area residents in August. Shayne Foster told the Northern Plains Independent that the organization has been receiving double deliveries of donated foodstuffs recently.

“We have been getting two deliveries a week,” said Foster. “It’s roughly 1,500 boxes of food per week.”

The deliveries have led to lines around the block at the food bank’s 502 Main St. address. Volunteers moved the line along briskly Aug. 21, with as many as a dozen individuals talking to drivers and loading up donations.

Foster said the next donation day will be Friday, Aug. 28.

“We have one truck and possibly two,” said Foster.
