Stanley, ND

Since August of 1993, Marlene and Andrew Henning have been volunteering their time to keep the Mountrail Community Food Pantry alive and well in Stanley. The food pantry serves as a place were families in need can stock up on supplies to help in their time of need. Items stocked in the food pantry come from donations from people, churches, Food Pride and organizations around the county, as well as the federal government and Lutheran Social Services in Fargo. Prairie Ford has also donated the use of a vehicle sometimes for the Hennings to make the trip to Minot to pick up supplies. The community values the Hennings leadership to help continue this valuable service in the community.

Stanley, ND was featured on ABC’s Nightline on Friday, January 18th. Due to the recent oil boom that has hit, all eyes are on Mountrail county. The biggest question is will it help the community or hurt the community in the long run?

While in the local beauty salon, I was visiting with Kori and her mom. By accident, her mom told me about the generosity of her daughter. Kori also works at a local convenience store and was given a gift certificate to Food Pride. Kori, being a kind and caring person, gave the food pantry her gift certificate. Kori explained humbly that she realized that others needed the groceries more than her. When asked what she would have bought with that gift certificate, she then replied probably just pop and candy. She laughed and said good night. I was very impressed with the high school student. She is Karing Kori.
