   Thank  you to everyone who helped provide food for our hungry neighbors!    Whether you gave grocery sacks, food, time, prayer or money your  gifts made serving food to hungry people possible.  Without you and your  generosity we would not have been able to serve 13,024 people in 2021.

   Volunteers  valiantly adapted to change while serving delicious food.  Our  volunteers adapted to pandemic protocols to serve meals safely.  Their  creativity made hot meals available in cold weather and cold meals  available in hot weather.  Our volunteers are amazing!

   Central  Christian Church continued to allow us to serve to-go meals.  Adventure  Church, Calvary Lutheran Church and Samaritan House have  allowed us to  serve dine in meals.  Our 32nd Christmas Day meal was at Samaritan  House Administration Center. 

   Looking  ahead we dread the frigid weather forecasted.  We have found nowhere  inside to serve over half of our meals in Kalispell.   People are forced  to make the choice of being warm and hungry or braving the frigid  temperatures to get a meal to go.   

Evergreen's  Calvary  Lutheran Church is allowing us to serve dine in meals on  Mondays and prayerfully several more days a month.  Praying  we are able to serve more dine in meals to meet the needs of our neighbors.
