State Fair Food Drive: Donate goods, save on admission
The North Dakota State Fair starts this weekend, and on Monday, July 25, you can get a dollar off admission when you help people from all over the state by donating food. The fair’s food drive benefits families from Williston to Fargo.
All of the non-perishable food items and money donated will go to The Salvation Army of North Dakota.
Donating is simple, when you arrive at the fairgrounds seek out a Salvation Army volunteer at any one of the five gates, and they will take the food and be sure it goes where it’s needed.
The Salvation Army has locations in Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Minot and Williston, as well as extended services in every county of the state.
“This is a wonderful event and your small contribution can make a great impact and difference in our community,” explained Captain Randy Stahl, Minot Salvation Army administrator. “We’re so thankful for our partnership with the North Dakota State Fair and appreciate all of your help to make this event a success year after year.”
If you can’t make it to the fair, you can still help by donating online to food programs in your local community. The Salvation Army is also in need of volunteers. If you are able, please consider volunteering to help your community today.
