Free meal delivery service in Grand Forks sees more needs

The faces change along Maria Fischer’s delivery route through the north end of Grand Forks, but her mission has remained the same for the past 11 years. Fischer is one of about 75 active volunteers that deliver about 90 meals by request from individual in need or from social service organizations. Continue Reading
“Without the meals, Wood and Fischer said their clients would probably eat a lot of chips and candy bars.”
If they have money for “a lot of chips and candy bars”, why are the meals “free”?

Schurkey. A little research or a phone call would have enlightened you that Home Delivered Meals Inc is a non profit which is located within Altru Hospital (who donates the office space) but is not part of or managed by Altru. Clients pay for meals -they are not free. The only thing free is the delivery which is done by wonderful, loyal volunteers. I invite you to volunteer your time to help elderly and disabled people in Grand Forks and East Grand Forks receive a nutritious noon meal.
