Community Engagement: March 2022

Partnership with Fargo-Moorhead Community Organizations

Essentia Health colleagues, along with many Fargo-Moorhead community organizations and members, recently participated in the kick-off event for a year-long series called Illuminate the Valley, which aims to raise awareness about the opioid crisis and help combat its effects on people's lives in the community.

Essentia Supports CHUM's Annual FoodShare Campaign

Essentia Health recently awarded a $12,000 grant to Churches United in Ministry's (CHUM) Community Supported Agriculture Campaign. With this donation, local farmers will be utilized to provide high quality, fresh and nutritious food to CHUM’s food shelf.

Last year, CHUM received 5,947 pounds of farm fresh produce that fed 637 unduplicated households during the months of June, July, August, and September.
