The Farm

Bemidji Community Food Shelf completed a bit of a face lift recently. A new front and office remodle that will allow us to better serve those in need.

The building was built in 1976, some 47 years ago, and was in need of a face lift. Thanks to Zetah Construction for their work and in kind donation.

New look on our building.
