Food & Fund Drives
Community food and fund drives provide nutritious food and vital operating funds for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank while raising awareness of hunger issues in our community. Monetary donations keep our freezers running, lights on, and our vehicles on the road. They also support our innovative programs to address the root causes of hunger through advocacy and education. Cash also allows the Gallatin Valley Food Bank to purchase bulk food to be repacked 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. Food drives provide some of the healthiest and highest-quality food the Gallatin Valley Food Bank receives.
We DO accept fresh produce as well as commercially processed Wild Game.
A huge thank you to the hundreds of schools, offices, faith-based groups and others who organize food and fund drives.
