Many Montanans would have gone hungry in the early days of the COVID-19 shutdown if it weren’t for the Montana Food Bank Network. Similarly, the Food Bank Network would have struggled to fulfill its mission if not for some hard work, a few timely grants and the generosity of others.

Driving back to Helena Tuesday after observing drive-through COVID-19 testing in Superior, Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney stopped in at the Montana Food Bank Network to see how the staff was keeping up with Montana’s needs. Entering the warehouse area, Cooney was pleased to see many of the pallets and shelves were more full than a few months ago.
