Feed the Need

Feed the Need serves free nutritional lunches to children in three locations around Missoula five days a week during the summer months of June, July, and August.  During the school year, many families rely on Free and Reduced-Price School meals to help feed their children nutritious food and stretch their food budget.  However, school is only in session nine months out of the year, and many families find it difficult to pay for additional meal costs when school is out.  As a result, summer can mean hungry bellies and malnutrition for many kids across Montana, including right here in Missoula.  Feed the Need is a participant in the Summer Food Service Program through the USDA.
