We Are Participating in the Great Fish Community Challenge!

NVFB is excited to announce our participation in the Whitefish Community Foundation’s 10th Great Fish Community Challenge! From August 8 through September 13, you'll have the opportunity to support NVFB and 79 other nonprofits and be inspired to Give Where You Live! 

Join us this Thursday, August 8, at 5.30 PM for the Great Fish Community Challenge Launch Party at Three Rivers Bank in Whitefish to enjoy drinks, appetizers and mingle with all of your favorite nonprofit organizations!

Our goal is to raise $150,000 to continue providing food assistance and culinary education to more than 1,000 people weekly through our free grocery store, mobile pantries, and shared community kitchen.

You can help us win the $10,000 Biggest Catch incentive grant during the second week of The Challenge by donating to North Valley Food Bank between Friday, August 16, and Thursday, August 22! You will count as a unique donor if you donate $25 or more to NVFB and donate together as one household!
