Feeding All Kids This Summer...Here's Where Bis/Man Are Doing It.

Talk about a quiet year for charity...but somehow charity abounds! The United Way has once again teamed with the Great Plains Food Band to provide kids meals this summer.

This is available to all families regardless of your financial situation. You don't have to qualify when you arrive. You simply drive up and your kids have something for lunch. It's pretty simple, and I can only presume staffed by volunteers.

A program that would be more than happy to welcome you as a summer volunteer. For more on that click here. Maybe you and a friend could work a shift? Retired and interested? Click here.

Best I can do is tell you the times and locations and provide you another link where maybe you can learn some more. Now please stop by and grab some- they're doing it for you and the kids. We'd be happy if you did. Here's this from the United Way

Thank you to our friends from Bismarck and Mandan Public Schools and the Great Plains Food Bank, we helped serve thousands of meals to children and adults last summer through the SUMMER HUNGER PROGRAM.
