We are again hosting our Annual Food & Fund Drive as part of the Minnesota FoodShare March Campaign. This marks our 10th year.  For the month of March, we will collect money or non-perishable food donations at all three of our locations. Farmers & Merchants State Bank will again match each donation, dollar for dollar or dollar for pound—up to $2,000 per location.

Did you know? Food insecurity is hitting us close to home? In fact, 1 in 4 Rural Minnesotans have said they don’t have enough food to feed themselves and/or their family.

We can make a difference. Let’s help our communities thrive by filling our local food shelves together.  All Donations will go to:

  • Catholic Charities Emergency Service Food Shelf – St. Cloud*
  • Eden Valley Area Food Shelf – Food Distribution Center
  • Pierz Area Food Shelf – Food Distribution Center

*F&M will participate in the Catholic Charities Emergency Services Food Shelf Pack the Porches Food and Fund Drive on March 27, 2026. All donations brought to one of the three drop-off locations from 7 AM to 1 PM that day, will be matched by Coborn’s up to $15,000! You don’t even need to get out of your car! We’ll be there helping at the St. Cloud Hyundai drop-off.  Learn more at: https://www.ccstcloud.org/packtheporches.  Or donate online at: https://www.ccstcloud.org/mnfoodshare.
