In June 2007, student counsel leaders from each of the Fargo-Moorhead area High Schools got together and formed the Metro Student Counsel Ambassadors. As a group, they wanted to do something big, something to highlight their senior year of high school. A couple of phone calls, lots of donations and few espressos later, Fill The Dome was born. The goal? Fill the entire floor of the Fargodome (80,000 sq. ft) with food for local food pantries.

Each year, hundreds of local, regional and national food industry partners donate their surplus shelf stable and perishable food products to the Great Plains Food Bank. In addition, thousands of volunteers give of their time and talent in preparing this food for redistribution to their network of 230 food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters and other charitable feeding programs operating in 85 different communities. Because of these very generous partners, the Great Plains Food Bank can distribute $11.00 worth of quality and nutritious food for every charitable dollar received - making it one of the most cost efficient hunger relief programs in the state.

Fill The Dome has established a charitable fund at Impact Foundation, a non profit organization in Fargo. All donations made to Fill The Dome Fund are tax deductible and 100% of the donations go directly to feed people in need!
