NorthRidge Community Credit Union is proud to see their free pantry project flourishing.

The Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency (AEOA) and Roth RV are thrilled to announce a special food distribution event designed to support seniors in Grand Rapids and surrounding communities.

The event will take place from Wednesday the 18th through Friday the 20th at Roth RV, located in Grand Rapids.

Roth RV is located at 2761 East Highway 169, Grand Rapids, MN 55744

All people 60 and older are eligible.

During the event, 800 food boxes, each containing enough food for 10 meals, will be distributed to help meet the nutritional needs of older adults during the holiday season. Roth RV will graciously provide coffee and cookies to make the event warm and welcoming for all attendees.

“This partnership with Roth RV is an opportunity to give back to our community and support our older adults in our community,” said Marilyn Ocepek, AEOA’s Director of Senior and Nutrition Services. “We encourage everyone who qualifies to come out, enjoy the hospitality, and take advantage of this resource.”
