The largest grassroots food and fund drive in the state, the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign, runs Feb. 27 through April 9 this year and the Becker County Food Pantry is a part of it.
The Food Pantry is hoping to get $250,000 (in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds) from the city of Detroit Lakes and another $250,000 or so in ARPA money from Becker County to go towards a $750,000 building, which might be built on a lot near the Richwood Road industrial park.
