The Gallatin Valley Food Bank needs our help this Saturday with one of the biggest food drives of the year. 26% of the people who use the food bank are our children. Let's make sure those shelves are packed with good stuff.

Grocery stores across the valley will be drop-off points for this food drive. That will make it easy to shop and donate for your convenience.

(PRO TIP: I like to take a look at the grocery online flyer BEFORE I head to the store on days like this Saturday. You can check the best deals and sales so that your dollar goes the furthest for you AND the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.)
