MISSOULA, Mont. - The Montana Food Bank Network (MBFN) had to adapt quickly as they distributed 7 million more pounds of food in 2020 than they did in 2019. They were able to pivot and keep up with the need because of community support. Montana Albertsons and Safeways especially stepped up, donating $234,101 in 2020.
Leidy Wagener, corporate and foundation relations manager with Montana Food Bank Network, said their support goes beyond the money. They also just have a great team, Wagener said. The in-store donations are really driven by their team members really advocating for the nonprofits that people are eligible to donate to. It was more than just financial support; it was just the support for the cause overall and their passion for ending hunger.
