24 Days of Giving!
As the holidays draw near, we invite you to join us for North Valley Food Bank’s 24 Days of Giving, a special campaign running through December 24th. Every day, we spotlight a specific need — including food items, donations, and acts of kindness — to build food security in our neighborhoods this season. Check out the 24 Days of Giving overview and mark your calendars for the days and acts of giving that speak to you! The holidays can be a time of joy and connection, but for many of our neighbors, they are filled with uncertainty. Your generosity has the power to change that. This December, let’s create stories of hope and resilience. Whether you donate a can of soup, a box of pasta, or make a financial contribution, every act of generosity makes a difference.
What We Do
North Valley Food Bank provides food assistance to more than 1000 people weekly through our free client-choice model grocery store in Whitefish and mobile pantries in Essex, Olney and Trego. In addition to the customers served directly, North Valley Food Bank serves as a food hub for NW Montana and runs pantry deliveries to FAST Blackfeet in Browning, the Bigfork Food Bank and rural pantries in the Yaak, Eureka, Libby, and Troy.
North Valley Food Bank has a licensed commercial kitchen space on-site. Through our community kitchen programming, North Valley Food Bank transforms rescue food into meals, processes local food, hosts nutrition education for families and provides pathways to self-sufficiency for food entrepreneurs in our communities.
