About Us

Our Mission

Gallatin Valley Food Bank’s (GVFB) mission is to improve food security throughout Southwest Montana.

Our vision is to create a healthier, more resilient, food-secure community in which all of the members are empowered and have the means to nourish themselves. We will continue to advocate and support our community through our work, partnerships, and commitment to improving food security.

History

Gallatin Valley Food Bank was established in 1982. By 2001, after moving twice, we moved into our third location on Bond Street off of North Rouse. Our former space housed our store and lobby, warehouse, self-choice food pantry, and garden. For 23 years we used this space to function as a food hub for our community. Within that time we began to use off-site storage to help us keep up with the growing need for food assistance in the Gallatin Valley.

In December 2023, we moved into our new home at Market Place, one of the two buildings that will make HRDC’s Community Commons. Market Place includes GVFB, the Fork & Spoon pay-what-you-can restaurant, senior and childhood nutrition programs, and more. The majority of HRDC staff that work closely with our customers are also now relocated to Market Place. We are excited to be improving our customers’ experience and strengthening our impact in this new space.

As a program of HRDC, the Gallatin Valley Food Bank is a component of HRDC’s overall food and nutrition program. We know nutrition is vital for everyone in our community and we serve as a crucial link between food and the people who need it. HRDC’s food and nutrition program includes GVFB, Headwaters Area Food Bank, Big Sky Community Food Bank, and the Fork & Spoon restaurant and its Mighty Spork food truck. HRDC is a community action agency which has been serving Southwestern Montana for nearly 50 years. With 48 different programs including housing, early childhood education, energy affordability, senior services and more, we are committed to building a better community.
