The Trailhead Christian Fellowship Church will be staffing the food pantry during the month of December.
Food pantry supplies were distributed to 40 families on November 18th. This included nine from the Home Maker Program. Thanksgiving dinner packages were given out to 59 families.
Thanks to the AWANA group from Trailhead. They collected and donated 120 pounds of food to the food pantry.
The December board meeting will be held on December 7th at 7 pm at the food pantry.
A reminder that we can accept game meat if it is processed professionally.
With the weather turning cold, please do not drop off donations at the back door. They may go unnoticed and freeze.
The food pantry will only be open for the distribution of food and receiving food on the first and third full weekends. If there is a 5th Saturday, we will be open then also.
Items needed this week are chili, can stew, soups, crackers, peanut butter, Skillet meals or Hamburger Helper.
Distribution hours: Saturday distribution hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 10:45. Distribution outside of the normal hours is for emergencies and on an individual basis. Emergency food needs can be distributed by calling Karoline Nelson at 406-438-3981 or Daryl Blumhagen at 406-980-0800.
