March 2020 Food Drive
BankCherokee | Smith Ave. | Grand Ave. | Randolph | North OaksIn Minnesota, 1 in 10 families with children struggle with hunger. BankCherokee is helping, and you can, too.
No one should ever go hungry. That’s why, to help ensure our area residents have consistent access to nutritious food, BankCherokee is again at the table with Neighborhood House and Ralph Reeder. These longtime non-profits stock their markets with healthy, multicultural groceries food for people from many parts of the world.
Below is a wish list of items that families they serve need most. Your contribution does makes a difference. Drop off your food item(s) or cash donation at any BankCherokee location. From our branches, we’ll transfer all food and financial contributions directly to Neighborhood House and Ralph Reeder.
The need is great. Thank you for your support.
