Food Pantry Update
Karoline Nelson
Operations Manager
The United Methodist and Holy Cross Churches will be staffing the food pantry during the month of February.
Food pantry supplies were distributed to 33 families serving 64 people on February 3rd.
We have started signing up those who wish to receive an Easter ham or chicken. You may sign up on the 17th of February and the 2nd of March. They will be available for pick up on March 30th which is the usual distribution day.
The food pantry will be open for the distribution of food on the first and third Saturday of the month between 9:00 and 10:45. If there is a 5th Saturday, we will be open then also. Distribution outside of the normal hours are for emergencies and on an individual basis. Emergency food needs may be distributed by calling Karoline Nelson at 406-438-3981 or Daryl Blumhagen at 406-980-0800.
Donations may be dropped off either on the first or third Fridays between 9:30 and 11:00 or on Saturday between 9:00 and 10:45. They will also be received at the same time if there is a fifth weekend. If you are unable to bring your donation during these hours, you can call Karoline or Daryl at the numbers above. Please do not leave food by the back door. If it freezes it may not be salvageable. For cash donations, there are donation boxes at the checkout counters at Bob’s Supermarket or they can mailed to the Broadwater Food Pantry, P. O. Box 1164, Townsend, Mt 59644. We are located at 315 Broadway.
Items needed this week are: chili, can stew, soups, crackers, peanut butter, skillet meals or Hamburger Helper.
