Community Engagement Monthly Report: April 2026

Community engagement activities seek to improve the health and vitality of our communities by leveraging our organization's capacities and expertise to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

Supporting Everyone’s Table in Sandstone

Essentia Health volunteers recently volunteered at Everyone’s Table in Sandstone, where they cooked and served a free dinner to 200 community members. It was a great way to give back and connect with the community.

Supporting Local Students Through United Way Backpack Program

Essentia Health Bismarck donated $4,000 to help buy food for the United Way Backpack Program. United Way matched the donation, doubling the support for local students. Volunteers packed and delivered more than 1,700 backpacks to 37 schools in Bismarck and Mandan, helping provide weekend food for children who need support.
