Thank you Brian Chaffee and his amazing volunteers that helped provide a Thanksgiving meal in Pine River.

It is an honor to work alongside Brian. He provides a weekly community meal to those in need, in 2 communities - Pine River and Backus.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Did you know you can turn your required minimum distribution (RMD) into a charitable contribution?

It's an easy way to meet your annual distribution requirements, support meaningful local initiatives like The Outreach Program of Brainerd Lakes and enjoy significant tax benefits.

We would love it if you would consider supporting our efforts of feeding families in Minnesota.

We can provide you with our TAX ID and any other pertinent information.

We have a big year ahead us and we are proving to be a leader in food insecurity.

It will take the help of many to make sure we are taking care of our Minnesota neighbors.
