The
Billings Food Bank
is primarily a
collection bank for donated food and other essentials for recipient
agencies in Yellowstone County who then distribute these
commodities to those in need.
The Billings Food Bank also sponsors senior nutrition food boxes on a monthly basis for
seniors 60+ years of age that are living on low fixed incomes that meet
the income guidelines. These seniors rely on the Billings Food
Bank to provide their daily necessities of food and other consumables.
Without the help of the Billings Food Bank these seniors would plainly
and simply go hungry.
During the
upcoming holiday season it is anticipated that there will be an even
bigger need for food than there was last year. We are looking at
helping 10,000 or more families during the months of November and
December. Won't you please help? Feel free to
contact us
for more information.

We warmly welcome the "Cattlemen
Feed the Needy"
organization to the Billings Food Bank
family. |
Levi Britton saw a need - and then decided to fill that need
by starting the
Cattlemen Feed the Needy.
Levi realized that people need protein from meat and ranchers
grow beef and have big hearts when it comes to helping others.
In November of 2006, Levi started the
Cattlemen Feed the Needy organization which collects slaughter
cattle, culls or drys at Pays or B.L.S. auction yards and gives
$500.00 charitable tax donation receipts from the Billings Food
Bank for each adult animal. Help us welcome Levi and all
the other volunteers that are working with him and wish them
much success in the future. |
