Summer Lunch Program Features Farm 2 School Activities

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:08:15 +0000

Where does your food come from? Local school-aged kids participating in the Summer Lunch Program sponsored by the Gallatin Valley Food Bank will be exploring answers to this question in the upcoming weeks.

Volunteers of Gallatin Valley Farm to School will be leading the children in farm to school activities such as making butter, planting a bucket garden, and exploring the BOB, the Bozone Ozone Bus – a mobile greenhouse bus created by the Bozeman Youth Initiative.

The activities will be held at the SOB Barn on the Montana State University campus July 6^th to July 12^th and at Centennial Park July 13^th through July 19^th. For more information visit the GVF2S website at www.gvfarmtoschool.org.

The Summer Lunch Program provides free lunches to school-aged children weekdays from noon to 1pm throughout the summer. No pre-registration is necessary and all children under the age of 18 are welcome.

This group of activities is the first of several different themes we’ll be exploring throughout the summer. Join us for lunch and activities all summer long!

Summer Lunch 2010

45north — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 21:37:55 +0000

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) runs throughout the summer months providing FREE lunches to SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN. The Gallatin Valley Food Bank is the local sponsor for the State Office of Public Instruction to provide this program in Gallatin County.

This year there will be two new exciting additions to the program! Last year a Campus Compact Volunteer designed a Summer Lunch Activities Manual that focused on nutrition education, fun with food, conservation, and many more fun-filled, hands-on learning activities. We will have these hands-on activities and other events at both summer lunch locations. Join us for a good meal and then fun-filled activities and special events all summer long!

We’ll also be using fresh garden produce from our own garden and other local growers in our meals served in a kid-friendly fashion. Food items like kale chips and zuccinni sticks made their way into the weekly menu last summer and the kids loved it!

Join the rest of the nation in the largest one day food drive! Letter carriers on Saturday, May 8^th will be collecting non-perishable food donations along their routes for delivery to the Gallatin Valley Food Bank and the Headwaters Area Food Bank. The 18^th annual ‘Stamp Out Hunger’ Food Drive is being held by our local letter carriers to combat hunger in our community. Please place a food donation by your mailbox on Saturday, May 10^th by 10 am. Foods collected in Belgrade, Big Sky, Bozeman, and Gallatin Gateway will go to the Gallatin Valley Food Bank; Foods collected in Manhattan, Pony, Willow Creek, Three Forks and Harrison will go to the Headwaters Area Food Bank. This is the largest source of much needed food for the Food Bank for the summer months! In 2009, the Stamp Out Hunger drive set a record of 73.4 million pounds in non-perishable donations to food banks and pantries across America. Since the event began in 1993 the drive has generated 982.7 million pounds of donated food. Let’s break all the records! Our community goal this year is 30,000 pounds!

Volunteer Appreciation Week

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:16:24 +0000

You inspire, you serve, you volunteer.

National Volunteer Week embodies the energy and power volunteers evoke on a daily basis as they lead by example—not only encouraging the people they help, but motivating others to serve as well.

We all have strenghts and skills to share and volunteers form the backbone of our organization. Together we accomplish great things! We can not imagine US without YOU.

End Hunger in the Valley

In 2009, 1 in 9 people in Gallatin County accessed the resources of the Food Bank. Which means each of us personally knows someone who uses the Food Bank to support their family. And, while the need is growing and continuous throughout the year, donations do not follow suit. January through June marks the slowest donation cycle for the Food Bank. Recognizing this, Wade and Susi Dokken have generously funded three months of the Food Bank demand. The Food Bank encourages the community to join forces with the Dokken’s to provide continued support.

Make a Donation Now. Together, even the smallest contributions can make a big difference.
