Open Your Heart funding will support essential equipment for the Fergus Falls Salvation Army meal program, which serves adults, families, and youth experiencing homelessness and food insecurity in Otter Tail County. A new standing freezer will increase food storage capacity and improve accessibility, ensuring ingredients are easily organized and readily available. Additionally, an industrial coffee grinder will allow the purchase of whole beans at a lower cost, reducing monthly food expenses and expanding the variety of meals offered.
With this funding, the meal program can continue providing reliable, nutritious food to those in need while improving efficiency and sustainability.
