🥐 Mary Dennis has served hundreds of families in need of food during her 14 years leading the Mountrail Community Food Pantry. Her favorite part of the work is seeing the positive reactions from clients. To Mary, it shows that her work does more than feeding families; it gives them hope and strength.

Since 2025, the pantry has distributed more than 215,000 pounds of food in Mountrail County. There is a wide selection of nutritious options, including dairy products and other grocery essentials. Looking ahead, Mary hopes to expand food offerings and continue improving pantry operations to better serve communities.​‌

🏫 New Town teacher Laura Schmidt launched a schoolwide initiative to help students overcome academic struggles and promote literacy. Inspired by her own child's challenges, Laura became a teacher with a mission to help other students build stronger reading skills and academic confidence.
📕 That passion led her to bring a book vending machine to Edwin Loe Elementary School, giving students the opportunity to earn books through positive behavior and making reading more exciting and rewarding. The initiative expands access to literature, helping more students to experience the joy of owning a new book.

🎉 It's National Family Owned & Operated Businesses Day!
John Woodbury wanted to keep the tradition of feed manufacturing alive after the last feed rolling service in his corner of northwest North Dakota closed. He didn't want the people of Ross to lose access to an important local business, so he used his experience in livestock feed to start John Woodbury Custom Rolling.
💙 John’s family plays a major role in the business: John makes feed that is specific to each client. His wife, Julie, handles invoicing and bookkeeping. Their son, Wyatt, manages totes and repairs equipment. Together, the Woodbury family supports the Ross community in an area where livestock feed is in high demand.
🤝 With help from our Horizon Grant, he was able to purchase a skid steer with enough lift capacity to carry multiple feed totes and a laptop for tracking inventory.
