The Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation is honored to accept donations to the Michael Miner Endowment Fund at Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank in memory of Jim S. Miner, Sr.
Jim, who began working in the grocery business at age 10 and was later instrumental in the growth of Miner’s Inc. — owner of Super One Foods — from one store to 31, died Sunday, September 18th after a lengthy illness. He was 77.
In lieu of flowers, Miner’s family asks that memorials be made to the Damiano Center in Duluth, the Michael Miner Endowment Fund at Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank, or to the charity of the donor’s choice.
The Miner family has been very charitable to the Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank, said Executive Director Shaye Moris.
“He was a very humble man and they are a humble family, and they don’t really talk a lot about those contributions to community,” she said. “But they have been making them for many years.”
Donations to the Michael Miner Endowment Fund at Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank can be directed to the Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation, which holds the Fund for Second Harvest.
