It's Time to Feed Love!
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, North Valley Food Bank is hosting its 6th annual FEED LOVE food drive and fundraiser! In 2025, we enrolled 963 new families in our food services. We also recorded over 27,000 pantry visits, the most in our organization's history. To address the growing number of local residents who need food assistance, the food bank will hold its annual FEED LOVE Food Drive throughout February. During this time, North Valley Food Bank will be collecting non-perishable “comfort food” such as soups, stews, pasta, nut butters, cornbread mix, baking supplies, and other items that will help families and seniors thrive in the cold weather.
This year, Whitefish grocery stores and the North Valley Food Bank will accept food donations, while food and drink establishments will offer FEED LOVE specials.
You can drop off food donations at:
- Safeway
- Super 1 Foods
- Marcus Community Market
- Third Street Market
- North Valley Food Bank's outdoor collection box at 251 Flathead Ave.
We're thrilled to team up with so many great restaurants and coffee shops this year! Check out the list below to plan your next date night, girls' night out, or a Monday morning pick-me-up! $1 of your Feed Love Special purchase goes to North Valley Food Bank! Thank you for FEEDING LOVE!
