Help the Garden Grow

The Gallatin Valley Food Bank realizes that for hunger to end, people must feel empowered in order to achieve self-reliance. The Food Bank also recognizes that strong partnerships within the community can help promote food security and ensure better access to nutritious, affordable food and that as much food as possible supports local growers. With the help of the Gallatin Gardeners and numerous volunteers, the Food Bank is able to have their own garden that not only provides fresh produce for people in need, but also creates a welcoming environment to learn, explore, and share information. In other words, the Food Bank is still doing what it does best—providing food for hungry people—but with the garden it is also provides some of the tools necessary for self-reliance by promoting backyard gardening, supplementing diets with fresh produce, and promoting overall wellness.

The Food Bank will once again need help in the garden this Spring as this program continues to grow.  Please contact the Food Bank for more information.
