How Can I Help?
Ways to Support Us
Approximately 1 in 10 Montanans struggle with hunger, and nearly 35,500 children live in food-insecure homes. In 2020, visits to Montana food pantries increased by 36% compared to 2019. And, in each month of 2020, an average of 38,000 households received food through partners of the Montana Food Bank Network.
Every dollar counts towards helping our hungry neighbors, especially during these unprecedented times. Your financial support is needed now more than ever.
Below are some excellent ways to help our neighbors.

Sponsor A Family
Hunger is a serious issue in Carbon County. Over a recent 10-year period, the number of families we served increased by nearly 80% — much of this increase involved children in our community.
We've recently launched a new program for our supporters to sponsor a local family with a recurring monthly contribution for families of all different sizes.

Donate on behalf of someone else
It's always possible to recognize someone by donating to the food bank in their name. For instance, for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day, or to mark any special occasion.
Please provide us the name and contact details of the person in whose name you are donating, and we will then send them a card telling them about your thoughtful gift on their behalf.

Sponsor A Family
Hunger is a pressing issue in Carbon County. Over a recent 10-year period, the number of families we served increased by nearly 80%. Much of this increase involved children right here in our community.
This growing need was why we launched the Sponsor-a-Family program. The easiest way to sponsor a family is through PayPal, which allows several payment methods and recurring options. There are four sponsorship options below. We also accept donations via snail mail at: 17 East 11th Street, PO Box 665, Red Lodge, MT 59068
