Bakk s 15th annual food shelf fundraiser collected between $80,000 and $90,000 to help more than 20 Arrowhead region food shelves.
Since the fundraiser began in 2006, it s raised close to $2 million.
Typically, the fundraiser is held in-person in the Twin Cities.
This year s fundraiser was held virtually.
âIt was tougher this year because we had to do it virtually,â Bakk, of Cook, said. âAnd we couldn t hold the silent auction we have always had. It s a harder year.â
Each year, the fundraiser is a major boost to area food shelves.
The Quad City Food Shelf in Virginia is one of the largest recipients.
