How to Use the Food Bank

  1. When you arrive, visit our check-in desk. We’ll ask you to complete a simple form and give you a numbered card to hold your place in line.
  2. When it’s your turn, we’ll call your number and explain how our store works. Our store uses a limit system, meaning the amount of each item you can take depends on your household size. You’ll receive a color-coded card that shows the limits for your household and guides you through the store.
  3. Once you’ve finished shopping, our volunteers will bag your groceries and weigh your cart. Then you are all set to go!

If you have any questions, feel free to call (406) 587-4486 or ask any of our staff or volunteers when you arrive.

Our store generally offers meat, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, produce, bread, and non-perishable pantry items such as canned fruits and vegetables, soup, beans, peanut butter, cereal, and pasta. 

Yes, we just need to know these pieces of information: Your first and last name, DOB, last 4 of your SSN, and how many people are in your family.

We have limited resources but occasionally we do deliver to homebound customers and to people with transportation challenges. If you are experiencing the latter, first check if a family member, friend, neighbor, or caseworker can pick up on your behalf.  We can even assemble a food box for pick-up outside of our food assistance hours if needed. If you have exhausted all options and need a delivery, we ask for 48 hours notice to schedule.
