As increasing food costs and other everyday expenses push more Montanans to local food banks for help, the Town Pump Charitable Foundation is matching over $1.1 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 116 food banks statewide are participating this year in the “Help Those in Need” campaign, which originated in 2001. The campaign has raised about $52 million for Montana food banks in 22 years, including nearly $12 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.
