Our
Mission. The
Butte Emergency Food Bank operates with the intention that no individual or
family in the community experiences the fear and pain of hunger. Each year we
distribute about 800,000 pounds of food--canned goods; boxed and bagged food;
baby food and formula, diapers, and baby products; milk; bread and bakery
items; meat and more--to Butte area residents, about 1700 people each month. In 2010,
numbers have increased to nearly 1700 people each month and over 800,000
pounds of food. Hours of
Operation. Call for food between the hours of 9:15-11:15am Mondays
through Fridays. Food pick-up is scheduled for 11:45am. Bread is available at
12:00 noon. For more information, call (406) 782-3814 or email buttefoodbankmt@yahoo.com Our Staff.
The
Butte Emergency Food Bank is a volunteer operation. All volunteers take great
pride in the Food Bank and in their service. They work hard, laugh a lot,
enjoy each other's company, and enjoy giving back to the community. Most
volunteers are retired professionals with many skills and talents and a deep
and abiding enthusiasm for public service. Kathy
Griffith became the director of the Food Bank in September 2010. She oversees the programs and the work to
be done. They work with a volunteer advisory Board of community professionals
to set priorities, long-range plans, policies, and guidelines. Our Board.
Our
Board consists of motivated community professionals who generously give time
and energy and provide unique perspectives and skills to this agency. For
more information on our Board, see our Board
& Staff information page. Volunteers
& Donations. The Butte Emergency Food Bank relies on volunteers and
donations from Butte's giving community. If you would like to learn more
about participating, please see our Volunteering
& Donations information page. |
