In operation since 1983, the Bigfork Food Bank distributes both donated and purchased food to more than 550 people a year, in the Bigfork area. As a nonprofit, tax exempt, all volunteer organization, the goal of the food bank is to provide basic nutritional support to those in need. Families whose average income falls below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines are eligible for food bank assistance.
The food bank is supported entirely by community donations.
The Bigfork Food Bank is open EVERY Tuesday, except the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our hours vary in an attempt to meet the needs of our clients schedules. The first and third Tuesdays of the month we are open from 4PM to 6PM. The second and fourth Tuesdays of the month from 9AM to 1PM. Any month that has a fifth Tuesday, we are open from 3:30-6:30PM. Special schedules serve holiday clients in November and December. For details, see the calendar.
