About
EMERGENCY FOOD DISTRIBUTION - THE MONTANA FOOD BANK NETWORK (MFBN) IS MONTANA'S ONLY STATEWIDE FOOD BANK. WE WORK WITH THE NATIONAL HUNGER-FIGHTING ORGANIZATION, FEEDING AMERICA, AND HAVE DEVELOPED SEVERAL PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF ACCESSING FOOD IN MONTANA. WE WORK WITH OVER 280 OTHER HUNGER-FIGHTING PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO IMPROVE FOOD ACCESS AND SHARE INFORMATION TO ADDRESS HUNGER AND ITS ROOT CAUSES. LAST YEAR WE DISTRIBUTED OVER 12.2 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD TO OUR NETWORK PARTNERS THROUGHOUT MONTANA. MFBN PARTNERS WITH LOCAL EMERGENCY FOOD PROGRAMS, SCHOOLS AND SENIOR CENTERS TO FEED THOSE WHO MAY OTHERWISE GO HUNGRY. WE DELIVER FOOD ACROSS THE 150,000 SQUARE MILES OF MONTANA FROM LARGER TOWNS TO REMOTE COMMUNITIES AND INDIAN RESERVATIONS THAT OFTEN RELY ON MFBN TO PROVIDE MOST OF THE FOOD THEY DISTRIBUTE. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE BACK PACK PROGRAM, SCHOOL PANTRY, MAIL-A-MEAL, AND MOBILE FOOD PANTRY. THE BACK PACK AND SCHOOL PANTRY PROGRAMS PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD FOR SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN AND THEIR YOUNGER SIBLINGS ON WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS FROM SCHOOL. MAIL-A-MEAL SHIPS EMERGENCY FOOD BOXES TO PEOPLE IN VERY REMOTE AREAS OF MONTANA WITHOUT OTHER SERVICES NEARBY. THE MOBILE FOOD PANTRY PARTNERS WITH SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS IN UNDERSERVED OR UNSERVED COMMUNITIES FOR FOOD DISTRIBUTION UNTIL A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION IS ESTABLISHED.
