GBF Community Services

We can’t say enough about GBF Community Services. Under the leadership of their exceptional CEO, Stacy Elia, and a magnificent volunteer board of directors, for the first time in its history, in 2019, GBF directly invested $1 million in local community programs and strategic partnerships. This represents not only a significant milestone for their organization but for the community as a whole.

The cornerstone of client services at GBF is the provision of healthy nutritional choices. They offer clients the opportunity to shop in a grocery store-like atmosphere using a points system. Clients choose from non-perishable goods, household cleaning products, personal hygiene products, fresh bread, milk and produce, as well as a selection of meat and frozen prepared meals. Thanks to donors including the Winona Men’s Club, GBF plays a necessary and significant leadership role addressing food insecurity in our community.
