The Community Food Resource Center

Site Plan

The Community Food Resource Center, located on the former Caird Engineering property between Montana, Lyndale, and Boulder Avenues, offers built-in flexibility for expansion during times of greater need in the community. The new center enables Helena Food Share to meet the growing demands for food support in the Helena area, receive more donated food into its expanded warehouse and cold storage space, produce healthy grab-and-go meals in its commercial kitchen by tapping new sources of food recovery, and provide gathering spaces for health and nutrition education.

Mosaic Architects designed the new Community Food Resource Center, and Dick Anderson Construction is the contractor.

A gift of any amount is significant and will help close out the campaign and ensure everyone in Helena has access to nutritious food.
 Your donation will help our neighbors long into the future.
