Bemidji Community Food Shelf will celebrate the achievements of the past year and the launching of its new mobile food shelf on Thursday, May 20, 2021.
This year’s annual meeting celebration is a hybrid event combining a video and an open house. The link to the video will be posted on the BCFS Facebook page and website on the morning of the event and the video will be available for viewing thereafter.
In addition to the highlights of 2020, the video features a salute to the steadfast volunteers who carried the food shelf through the difficult year. To celebrate the new ShelfSaver mobile food shelf program, viewers will virtually “ride-along” with the driver to the truck’s first distribution in Kelliher.
The Open House will be held from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and will include tours of the Food Shelf and The Farm. The first 75 guests will receive a packet with 2020 summaries, a poverty game, and a $10 gift card to a local restaurant. Visitors can enter the Food Shelf through Door B. Masks are required for the Open House and guests are asked to maintain distances from one another. For more information, call Mary or Debbie at 218-444-6580.
