The Town Pump Charitable Foundation has awarded 91 grants totaling $725,000 for organizations around the state to fund its 2024 “Meals for Backpacks” program, which supports schools, food banks and service organizations that provide weekend meal programs for Montana school children.
Locally, the Libby Food Pantry and Morrison Backpacks in Troy received grants to provide the weekend meals.
“The Town Pump Charitable Foundation is committed to providing nourishing food for Montana children,” said Bill McGladdery, director of corporate communications for Town Pump. “Too often children in Montana go hungry over the weekend. The Meals for Backpacks program provides them healthy meals when they are away from school, so they show up on Monday morning healthy and ready to learn.”
