Becker County Food Pantry Inc

Help us meet the growing need for emergency food in our community! 

This Give to the Max Day is a special opportunity to double your dollar - and help us fund an entire semi truck load of food! Thanks to the generosity of the First Lutheran Church of Detroit Lakes Foundation, each dollar - up to $8,000 - will be matched, now through the end of Give to the Max Day, November 19th, 2026.

The need for emergency food in our community continues to increase. In 2025, more than a half-million pounds of food were distributed in 6,740 household visits, which is the most in our organization's history. Between 2023 and 2025, we saw a 28% increase in the number people served, with a 23% increase in pounds of food distributed. 

Each dollar donated is maximized to purchase high-quality foods, including fresh produce, dairy, and proteins. The Becker County Food Pantry is an incredibly efficient and effective organization, powered by volunteers and with very little overhead. In a typical day we serve 60-90 different households facing food insecurity, over 30% of those served are children.

If you have questions or would like further information, please call us at 218-846-0142. Visit us at our NEW location, 610 Terry Street in Detroit Lakes!

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to a hunger-free Becker County.
