The Missoula Food Bank has two programs to help local seniors get the food they need to age more healthfully. ROOTS is a monthly delivery (or pick up) program for income-qualifying people aged 60 or older. On the second Thursday of each month, staple food items are delivered to the doorsteps of seniors who may have transportation or mobility challenges. Food is also available for pick up, at which time seniors can also shop the Store Program. Included with the pantry staples, Missoula Food Bank supplements ROOTS boxes with fresh fruits and vegetables and Ensure nutrition supplement drinks.

Our two shelters are designed to provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming stay for the children. They provide them with clothing, nourishing meals and everything to experience and enjoy childhood.
