Six organizations have received a total of $108,550 in grants from the state and Montana No Kid Hungry to keep their emergency food services going as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Organizations that received the funding in June included The Center Pole, Crow Indian Reservation ($49,550); Sidney Public Schools ($20,000); Belgrade School District ($5,000); HELP Committee and Boys & Girls Club of Hi-Line ($5,000); Target Range School District ($18,000); and Farm Hands: Nourish the Flathead ($11,000).
"As Montanans try to balance work, family and personal needs during this time we can't forget that nutritious food is the foundation to it all - a basic need that must be prioritized," Gov. Steve Bullock (D-MT) said in a release on the state website.
More than $150,000 in No Kid Hungry grants were already awarded prior to this round of funding. Almost $260,000 in emergency No Kid Hungry grants have been given to Montana nonprofits since the middle of April.
No Kid Hungry is made possible through a partnership with Gov. Bullock's Office, the Department of Public Health and Human Services, and the national non-profit Share Our Strength.
