“Take what you need”: Minot man turns his yard into a food pantry amid SNAP delays
As North Dakotans wait for stalled SNAP benefits to resume, one Minot man isn’t waiting on Washington to act. Outside his home on 5th Street Northwest, Eric Locken has built a front-yard food pantry — stocked with groceries, produce, and essentials — for anyone who needs them. What began with a few pull-tab winnings has turned into a community effort rooted in gratitude. After surviving the 2011 flood, Locken says he’s simply paying forward the kindness once shown to him. Kyara Brown with KX News has the full story.
