Programs within Falls Hunger Coalition

Feminine Hygiene & Infant products
Thanks to some wonderful women in Koochiching County, the One Day Period campaign is an annual fundraiser that helps us provide feminine hygiene products year round to our county! If you want to make a donation specifically to this cause, please add this to your memo line in your donation. 
Besides Feminine Hygiene products Falls Hunger makes every effort to also provide a variety of baby and toddler foods and items. 
NAPS
  • In late 2012, Falls Hunger Coalition became the distribution and organizational site for NAPS (Nutritional Assistance Program for Seniors), a Commodity Supplemental Food Program. Once a month food packages containing nutrient-dense commodity food products are distributed to income eligible seniors (60 years and older) in Koochiching County. We have clients who visit our location to pick up the boxes, and with the help of our many volunteers, we are able to deliver boxes to seniors in our community who are unable to leave their homes.
  • For more information please contact Ashley Hall at 218-283-8020.

School Pantries
Along with Second Harvest Food Bank, we have setup emergency food pantries in the Falls & Littlefork-Big Falls Schools. These pantries are designed to offer food for students throughout the day or help feed their families in the evenings.
Falls Hunger is the fiscal agent for these programs. To make a donation be sure to add which school you would like the donation to go to in the memo line of your check or on a note with your donation. 

​Food Distributions
Once a month we host food distributions in Littlefork, Big Falls and International Falls. 
Bus Passes
  • All clients in need of a ride to and from the food shelf in International Falls are given bus passes at each visit.
Turkey Vouchers
As an extra way to help with the Holidays FHC distributes Turkey vouchers which can be redemed at local grocery stores. 
Holiday Food
Falls Hunger distributes various foods throughout the Holiday seasons. Each Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter we do our best to provide festive foods. ​​
