The Montana Food Bank Network (MFBN) is Montana's statewide hunger fighting organization.  Our administrative costs are only 6%.

Founded in 1983, MFBN is a private nonprofit organization that solicits, gleans, sorts, repackages, warehouses and transports donated food and distributes it to charitable programs that directly serve needy families, children and seniors. MFBN is responsible for distributing food to all 56 counties in the state of Montana and on all 7 reservations. We provide food to our partner agencies though various programs and are the only fully privileged Montana member of Feeding America, the national hunger organization. Learn more about our history. 

In 2011, MFBN provided  nearly 8 million pounds of food to our partner agencies throughout Montana. In addition to making monthly deliveries of food and other household goods to our partner agencies, the Montana Food Bank Network also offers two additional direct service programs that help fill the gaps: the Backpack Program and the Mobile Food Pantry.

MFBN's Public Policy Department works to meet the immediate need for food while advocating at the local, state, and national level for policy changes to help eliminate hunger and food insecurity in Montana and promoting long term solutions to hunger through education and outreach. Our Food Security Council identifies factors that cause food insecurity gaps in services, the need for Federal Nutrition Program development and improved access to programs.
