Editor,
Polson Loaves and Fish Food Pantry was the recent recipient of a most timely and gracious gift of meats from Glacier Bank, Country Foods/Pasta and Frank’s Meats.
Glacier Bank and Country Foods both donated beef and pork that they purchased from County Fair participants. What a great community gift, helping our local 4H yout-h gain an appreciation of the fruits of their labor and helping some of our neighbors add protein to their diets.
Frank’s Meats donated wild game, which is also an important source of protein for pantry clients. Our Polson community is experiencing a greater need for food assistance as the local economy continues to struggle in these difficult times. The number of folks seeking assistance from the Polson Food Pantry has continued to grow since the beginning of 2010. Any individuals, companies, or organizations with the ability to donate cash, have the opportunity to double their donation to the Pantry through the ongoing Town Pump “match” program. Donations of food items are always welcome of course.
The Polson Loaves and Fish Food Pantry is open to serve clients, those in need, on Tuesdays and Fridays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Saturday mornings between 9 a.m. and noon. Our newly renovated pantry is located at 904 1st Street East, across from Woody’s (WBC). Visitors are welcome.
A special thanks once again to Glacier Bank, Country Foods/Pasta and Frank’s Meats for providing our Polson community with a helping hand.
