If you ate a satisfying meal today, think about this. One out of five children in our community might not have had enough to eat because food is scarce in their family.
Sadly, the rate of food insecurity continues to rise exponentially and is not likely to come down any time soon. The children in our community need your help.
A local funding organization, 101 Women Sandpoint, is once again offering a $10,000 grant as part of its bi-annual giving campaign.
Bonner County non-profit organizations that focus on basic human needs and/or social services are encouraged to apply for the grant. The simple grant application is available online opening on March 1, and the deadline for submission is April 15.
Northwest Autobody and a few partners recently gave the Bonner Community Food Bank a boost right when it needed it.
Since 2016, Northwest Autobody has donated money to the food bank as part of its "Deervember" promotion.
November is the busiest month of the year for animal versus automobile accidents and demand spikes at our local food bank with more people needing its services all the time.
