As Montana’s food banks deal with record demand in the wake of soaring food costs and other everyday expenses, the Town Pump Charitable Foundation said in a news release Tuesday it is matching $1 million to help raise $4 million during its annual fundraising campaign for food banks.

The Butte Emergency Food Bank, the Butte Rescue Mission and the Montana Tech Foundation Food Pantry are participating in the fundraising campaign.

Over 100 food banks statewide are participating this year in the “Be A Friend in Deed” campaign, which began in 2001. The campaign has raised over $44 million for Montana food banks in 20 years, including about $9 million in matching grants from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation. Organizers of the campaign, which runs through Nov. 30, hope to raise $4 million for the food banks this year.

Donations for the campaign are being collected at the Butte Town Pumps; the Lucky Lil’s, Montana Lil’s and Magic Diamond casinos; the Comfort Inn, and the Flying J. Donations also can be sent directly to Butte Food Bank, 1019 E. Second; the Butte Rescue Mission, 610 E. Platinum; or the Montana Tech Foundation Food Pantry, 1300 W. Park.
