The Trailhead Christian Fellowship Church will be staffing the food pantry during the month of December.

Food pantry supplies were distributed to 38 families serving 73 people on December 16th. This included ten from

the Home Maker Program.

With old man winter here, 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 foods 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 are 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.

How to Donate: Bob's Supermarket has donation boxes at the checkout counters. For donations of meat or other perishable items or for emergency food distribution, please call Karoline at 406-438-3981 or Daryl at 406-980-0800.

The food pantry is open to accept donations from 9:30 to 11:00 am on the first and third Friday of the month or you may drop them off on Saturday between 9:00 and 10:45. If there is a 5th Friday and Saturday, we will be open then also. If these new donation times won’t work for you, you may call Karoline or Daryl and we can set up a time for your donation.
