Food & Fund Drives

Community food and fund drives provide nutritious food and vital operating funds for the food bank and our services. Food drives also raise awareness of the experience of food insecurity right here in Southwest Montana.

How to help us with a food & fund drive:

Food: Food drives provide some of the healthiest and highest-quality food we receive. Please check out our wish list below for current food items we are asking for. If you are organizing a community food drive, register below. We DO accept fresh produce as well as commercially processed Wild Game if stored properly.
Funds: Monetary donations allow us to purchase bulk food to be repackaged by volunteers. Because we are able to make large bulk purchases, our cost per pound of food is far lower than that of food bought at retail prices by individuals, which means your dollars buy twice as much food as they would in a store. These donations keep the freezers running, our Food Rescue trucks on the road, and our store shelves stocked.

Use the Community Food Drive Registration form to register your food/fund drive. You will receive an email with more details!
