As ever-increasing food costs and other everyday expenses push more Montanans to local food banks for help, the Town Pump Charitable Foundation is again matching over $1 million to help raise $4 million during its annual fundraising campaign for food banks, including the Libby Food Pantry and the Troy Food Pantry.
A record 110 food banks statewide are participating this year in the “Be A Friend in Deed” campaign, which originated in 2001. The campaign has raised over $48 million for Montana food banks in 21 years, including over $10 million in matching grants from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation. The campaign runs through Nov. 30.
Locally, the Foundation is matching up to $7,500 each in Libby and Troy, and all funds raised remain in the respective communities.
