Editor,
Mission Mountain Les Schwab Tires has joined Town Pump’s match program by offering $2,000 in match money. The Polson Food Pantry, Loaves and Fish now has $9,500 of available match money that can be captured by donations from individuals, businesses, or community/service organizations.
Recent national statistics indicate nearly one in six families are living below the poverty line. Locally our construction and building sector is deeply depressed, creating appreciable supplemental food need in young families.
What a great way to offer a helping hand to those folks in our community who need supplemental or emergency assistance with food. This program has already begun and will now run through Nov. 30. Please make your tax deductable donation payable to: Polson Loaves and Fish Food Pantry. They may be mailed to 904 First St. E., Polson, MT 59860 or dropped off at the pantry (same address) on Tuesdays or Fridays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. or Saturdays between 9 a.m. and noon. Checks may also be dropped off at Town Pump on Hwy. 93 in Polson.
Using an all-volunteer workforce, our Polson Pantry serves over 400 families a month; many are young families that are now struggling to feed their families with little or no income. What a wonderful and fulfilling way to lend a helping hand to those in our community that need some help.
Won’t you please consider making a donation to capture some of the available match dollars?
A special thanks to Les Schwab Tires and Town Pump for their generous offering in making match dollars available to assist those in our community who need a helping hand.
