Food Drives & Food Donations
We believe by sharing food, we share hope.
How to share food with your neighbors in need:
1. We welcome food donations at our Community Food Resource Center.
Individuals, groups, or organizations can drop off items at the circle drive off Boulder Ave between 8:30 am and 6:00 pm, Mon and Thurs, and 8:30 am and 3:00 pm, Tues, Wed, and Fri. Just ring the bell and come inside. A volunteer can provide assistance and a receipt.
2. Shop local grocery stores during a food drive and purchase items to donate.
Volunteersat the store will let you know what is needed when you arrive and will collect the food before you head home. See the list of upcoming food drives on our Event Calendar.
3. Host a food drive at a local grocery store, business, or event.
If you’d like to host a food drive at your business, church, organization, or at a local grocery store, please contact Maddie Balachowski at [email protected] or 406-443-3663, ext 150, before the event and we will provide any resources you may need for your food drive. If you plan to host a drive at a grocery store, be sure to contact the store manager first.
February Food Wishlist
CANNED FOOD ITEMS: Warm, hearty soups, chili, and canned meals are especially needed for frosty February days. Canned fruit is always welcome, too, and eggs—especially farm-fresh eggs—are in high demand! Please bring these or any food donations to the drive-up ‘Donation Door’ along Boulder Ave.
Thank you for sharing hope!

Symphony Under the Stars – July 19, 2025
Bring canned food to hold down your blanket at this year’s Symphony Under the Stars. This is our largest food drive of the year, and we need your help surpassing our record goal of 24,000 lbs. Bring as many cans as possible, and we will pick them up before the concert and during intermission. Enjoy the music and enjoy a beautiful Montana evening under the stars while helping your community.
Find food drives at local stores
Drives throughout the year provide a variety of products needed for the Grocery Share Market. Check out our Events Calendar for times and location details.
