Be a Friend in Deed, Help Those in Need!

For 25 years, Town Pump has been making a difference in Montana communities through its annual food bank campaign, helping local food banks put food on the tables of families who need a helping hand.

This October and November, when you stop at Town Pump, you can make a difference with a simple donation. Even better, the Town Pump Charitable Foundation matches customer donations dollar-for-dollar, helping your generosity go twice as far!

Your donation stays local. Funds raised in our community, along with Town Pump's matching funds, go toward supporting local food banks and helping neighbors facing food insecurity.

Here at Ronan Bread Basket, we know how important it is to have food on the table. These funds help local food banks serve families in our communities and support the everyday work of providing food to those who need it.

We are grateful to Town Pump for 25 years of helping Montanans help one another.

The next time you're at Town Pump, consider donating to this wonderful campaign. Your generosity helps feed your neighbors, support local families, and remind those facing difficult times that their community cares.

One community. One helping hand. More food on the table.

Thank you, Town Pump, and thank you to everyone who gives!

Yesterday, we had the privilege of gathering together for our Ronan Bread Basket Volunteer Appreciation Picnic, and it was such a wonderful reminder of just how many hands and hearts it takes to keep our local food bank running.

A food pantry doesn’t run on food alone. It takes a team of dedicated volunteers who are willing to show up, pitch in, and serve our community in so many different ways.

Some of our volunteers help unload trucks and move food, some work in our sorting and storage rooms, and some help stock shelves and keep everything organized. Others help pack food boxes for families, making sure each household receives nutritious food to take home. We have volunteers who work at the computer desks, checking families in and keeping our records organized, along with so many others who take care of the important behind-the-scenes jobs that make each distribution day possible.

Every job matters. Every hour matters. Every helping hand makes a difference.

We are deeply thankful, humbled, and encouraged by the people who continue to give their time, energy, and hearts to the Ronan Bread Basket. You are helping put food on tables, but you are also helping remind our neighbors that they are cared for and that they are part of a community that stands together.

Yesterday wasn’t just a picnic—it was a chance for us to celebrate YOU.

To every volunteer, past and present, thank you for your willingness to serve, your hard work, your kindness, and the countless hours you give to help others. We truly could not do what we do without you.

We feel incredibly blessed to have such a caring and committed volunteer family serving the communities of Ronan, Pablo, Charlo, and the Moiese Valley.

From all of us at the Ronan Bread Basket Board, thank you. Thank you for giving your time, sharing your talents, and being willing to serve others. We appreciate each and every one of you more than words can say.

Hebrews 13:16 says
"And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."
