CCM Health Employees Collect 625 Items and Raise $2,625 for Prairie Five Chippewa County Food Shelf

CCM Health is proud to announce the successful completion of the 2025 CCM Health Food Drive Challenge, held the week of October 20–24. During this five-day event, CCM Health employees collected 625 regular, desperate, and critical-need items and raised $2,625 in financial donations to support the Prairie Five Chippewa County Food Shelf, which serves individuals and families throughout Montevideo and broader Chippewa County area.

“Our employees always go above and beyond when it comes to supporting our community,” said Brian Lovdahl, CEO of CCM Health. “Food insecurity continues to be a real challenge in rural Minnesota. Helping our local food shelf means directly helping our neighbors, families, and friends right here in Chippewa County. We are incredibly proud of the generosity and teamwork shown during this year’s challenge.”

The food drive reinforces CCM Health’s commitment to community engagement and support. The event was organized as a friendly competition between CCM Health departments. Employees were divided into four teams, each working together to gather the most items and donations. The winning team earned the chance to spray silly string at their supervisors, adding a fun and memorable twist to the charitable effort.
