Come watch creativity merge with philanthropy at the Montana Food Bank Network's Second Annual CANstruction® Competition! With eight teams competing to win in the categories of Structural Integrity, Best Use of Labels, Best of Show-Judges Choice, and People's Choice, this year's event is sure to be a blast!

The Food Security Council of the Montana Food Bank Network - which works to improve long term food security and reduce hunger in Montana, is pleased to announce it’s recognition of individuals and organizations from Montana who have worked to reduce hunger and improve the nutritional status of Montanans. First Lady Nancy Schweitzer will present the awards during a ceremony at 1.00 pm on April 7, 2010 in the Capitol Rotunda in Helena.

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (MTDPHHS) has partnered with the Montana Food Bank Network for many years to help provide food for low-income Montanans. Throughout 2009, MFBN’s partner food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers, youth programs and residential treatment programs worked to meet the needs of a steadily increasing client base. Our reports show that these agencies experienced a 60% increase in the number of unduplicated households served between January 1, 2009 and December 2009.

The Montana Food Bank Network is proud of our unique grain donation project called Our Neighbors’ Daily Bread Project. The project is a collaborative effort involving the Montana Food Bank Network, Montana’s farmers, the Montana Grain Growers Association, the Montana Grains Foundation, and participating grain elevators across the wheat growing regions of Montana. The project is specifically designed to provide the flour necessary to meet the needs of MFBN’s Partners Agencies across the state.
