MFBN’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Gayle Carlson, was recently interviewed by NBC Montana.

“Without that additional support system, our pantries are really seeing a high level of need,” said Carlson. “Not just the number of families that are coming (for) help, but also in the frequency in which they’re depending on their pantries.”
Carlson says food insecurity is affecting Montanans across the board as the cost of living rises, noting that many community members turning to food banks for help are fully employed.
