March Food Pantry Needs

The United Methodist and Holy Cross Churches will be staffing the food pantry during the month of February.
Food pantry supplies were distributed to 37 families serving 60 people on February 17th.
Next Saturday, March 2, will be the last day for those who wish to receive an Easter ham or chicken to sign up. They will be available for pick up on March 30th which is the usual distribution day.
A huge “Thank You!” to the Super Bowl Townsend school staff for their food collection. They collected 207.5 pounds of food for the food pantry.
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 is 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 Saturdays 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.
