We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Montana Food Bank Network.
Montana Food Bank Network’s (MFBN) mission is to end hunger in Montana through food acquisition and distribution, education, and advocacy. MFBN has been feeding Montana since 1983. Their vision is a Montana free from hunger where everyone has equal access to nutrient-dense food.
MFBN distributes food to over 340 partners that include community food banks, pantries, senior centers, shelters, and schools to end hunger in Montana. MFBN’s hunger relief programs include BackPack, Mail-a-Meal, Hunters Against Hunger, Retail Food Rescue, and SNAP outreach.
MFBN advocates for long-term policy solutions to strengthen public nutrition programs and address the root causes of hunger.
