Mission statement
The mission of Montana Food Bank Network is to end hunger in Montana through food acquisition and distribution, education, and advocacy.
Impact
Every $1 donated helps provide at least 4 meals.
How is this even possible?
Through partnerships with local and national food manufacturers, agriculturists, and other food manufacturers we are able to secure large amounts of food through generous donations, grants, or wholesale. Then, through a team of volunteers, we are able to break down the large-scale food into manageable family-size portions so our partner agencies and other programs are then able to easily store and distribute these to those individuals in our state that are struggling to make ends meet.
Support
Community support is vital to make our vision of a hunger-free Montana possible. You are here, you obviously have a passion to be a part of getting emergency food to our neighbors in Montana. We need you to get involved in a meaningful way. Whether that way is volunteering, donating, or starting a food site in your neighborhood, your purpose defines your meaning. There is no time better than now to be a part of the movement to end hunger in Montana.
We are a network
We have the greatest impact when we work together to end hunger for our neighbors.
