GRHF and IncredibleBank Partner to Support Food Security Across Gogebic and Iron Counties

The Gogebic Range Health Foundation (GRHF) and IncredibleBank have partnered to bolster food security initiatives in Gogebic and Iron Counties, ensuring families have access to nutritious meals during the holiday season. Each organization contributed $500 to nine local food programs, resulting in $1,000 donations to each organization and maximizing the impact of this collaborative effort.

The organizations receiving support include:

Mercer Area Food Pantry
Iron County Food Pantry
St. Vincent DePaul locations in Ironwood, Bessemer, and Watersmeet
Total Faith Ministries (Union Station)
Northwind Naturals Food Co-op (Kids Account)
Gogebic County 4-H Knapsack Program
Lac Vieux Desert Food Pantry

“This partnership with IncredibleBank demonstrates the power of collaboration,” said Kassi Huotari, Executive Director of GRHF. “Together, we can make a more significant impact, providing vital resources to organizations that support food security in our community, especially during this time of heightened need.”

Kevin Nyquist, Market Manager at IncredibleBank, added, “At IncredibleBank, we are deeply committed to giving back to the communities we serve. Partnering with GRHF to address food security ensures that local families can enjoy a healthier, more secure holiday season. This collaboration highlights the strength of our community when we come together to support one another.”

This initiative reflects GRHF’s broader mission to enhance community well-being through its four funding priorities: Youth Engagement & Mental Health, Economic Empowerment, Community Food Systems, and Connected Communities.

While GRHF paused its grant-making in 2024 to focus on leadership transitions, this initiative demonstrates its continued commitment to addressing critical community needs. As the Foundation prepares to resume grant-making in early 2025, supporters are encouraged to contribute to its mission.
