The Minot Menards store is serving as a drop site for a local food pantry through the months of June and July.

Menards offers a wide variety of nonperishable food items that can be donated or outside donations from other stores or the donor’s personal pantry are welcome. There is a large collection box near the exit doors to place donations.

These donations are given to a local food pantry throughout the duration of the food drive. “Since my tenure at the Minot location of eight years, we have always run a food drive,” said General Manager Jared Cowell.

The Menards Food Drive ends July 31.
