Editor,
The Bread Basket is so blessed to be a part of a community that cares so deeply for their neighbors in need. Thank you to all the businesses, organizations, churches, schools, grocery stores, media, and the Tribes and townspeople for your generous support.
Because of your generosity, our shelves are filled right now, but when feeding 200 families it is amazing how quickly those shelves are emptied.
In our current economy, many families struggle to find the money to buy food. Even with both parents working, many families’ income can fall below the poverty level. In fact, currently, child poverty in Montana is among the fastest growing challenges we face. With your continued help, the Bread Basket can continue to feed our hungry neighbors for four days each month. Remember, whatever you share can make the difference.
Much of the food that came in during the holidays will be given out in coming months. Winter can be long and hard. Donations of food and money continue to be needed to provide healthy food for an average of more than 200 families per month.
Thanks to all of you for your continued support. We will keep working at feeding the hungry in our community. Your compassion and generosity continues to be inspiring. God bless all of you in 2015.
