Donate Food

Urgent! Your Donations Needed!

Help alleviate hunger in the community by donating shelf-stable food to Family Service. Family Service provides food boxes to families and seniors in need. Our food box provides approximately fourteen days of food, which helps to extend the household budget, allowing families to focus much-needed funds elsewhere.

True Story

Christopher and Family

"

Christopher’s Mom: “We moved to Montana a couple of years ago because of the oil boom. No work in the Bakken or Wyoming now, so we are waiting for things to swing up again. Until then, my husband and I have only about 20-25 hours of work each. Family Service makes it possible to afford our rent by providing food for our family.
