The McKenzie County Food Pantry, which aims to support those facing food insecurity, provides supplemental, nutritious food to residents in need across the county, encompassing areas like Mandaree, New Town, Keene, Killdeer, Grassy Butte, Fairview, Cartwright, and Watford City. Over the years, the demand for assistance has substantially increased, with the pantry serving only a few families weekly 15 years ago compared to an all-time high of 131 families, approximately 500 individuals, seeking aid during Thanksgiving week. Volunteer Mitch Haugeberg emphasized the pantry’s commitment to addressing the growing need for quality food among the community. Read more on this McKenzie County Farmer story here.
