The Mountain Valley Church will be staffing the food pantry during the month of November.
Food pantry supplies were distributed to 13 families consisting of 18 family members on November 5th.
Those who signed up for a Thanksgiving package will need to pick them up on November 19 between 1 and 3 pm.
A big Thank you! To all who have donated funds toward the Town Pump matching funds campaign. They will continue through the end of November.
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. If these days are inconvenient for any donating food, please notify Karoline or Daryl at the numbers below. If our needs pick up, we will return to our previous distribution dates.
If you are dropping off food donations during off hours, please do not leave them at the back door. They may go unnoticed and especially with the hot temperatures we are having, the food may spoil.
Distribution hours: Saturday distribution hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Distribution outside of normal hours is for emergencies and on an individual basis. Emergency food needs can be distributed by calling Karoline Nelson at 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 Nelson at 438-3981 or Don Peace at 266-1325. The food pantry is open to accept donations from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the first and third Friday of the month. You may mail cash donations to Broadwater Food Pantry, P. O. Box 1164, Townsend, MT 59644. The food pantry is located at 315 Broadway.
