Garden Valley Technologies is proud to donate $10,000 to local food shelves, with $1,000 of the donation to be distributed directly to each food shelves in their service areas.
The Garden Valley Technologies Board of Directors recently approved donating $1,000 to 10 local food shelves throughout the GVT service area. This decision reflects our commitment to supporting those in need and giving back to the community that has been an integral part of our cooperative’s success.
Throughout 2025, GVT donated $11,080 to local food shelves through this initiative and additional community donation requests. We were also proud to support the Thief River Falls Prowler Pantry, Red Lake County Central’s Satisfy Hunger Backpack Program, Challenger Elementary’s Food Shelf, and the Plummer Holiday Train.
We recognize the vital role that food shelves play in ensuring that everyone in our community has access to nutritious meals, especially during the holiday season. This donation is a small gesture of our appreciation for the tireless efforts of food shelf organizations and their dedicated volunteers. GVT is deeply rooted in the communities we serve, and we are honored to be able to support the well-being of our neighbors.
