The Billings Food Bank provides much needed food boxes for low income seniors that are struggling with meeting their basic food requirements. Many senior citizens in our community would go hungry without the support of the Billings Food Bank.

Adequate nutrition is critical to health, functioning, and the quality of life of our seniors. Many of our seniors are receiving less than $700 per month, and after they pay rent and utilities, there is not enough money to pay for food, doctors, medicines and other necessities.

The food boxes consist of fruits, vegetables, one can meals, canned meats, milk, cereal, pastas, beans, juices, and additional items as they are available.

Our senior nutrition food box program helps improve the dietary intake of our participants and offers opportunities to form new friendships and create a supportive network.

The Billings Food Bank is currently serving nearly 1450 households each month in Yellowstone, Carbon, Stillwater, and Fergus counties. In addition, the food bank is meeting the food needs of some 3000 families through our client agencies.
