OUR MISSION
Mission Statement
No one goes away hungry.
Background
According to the Montana Food Bank Network approximately 1 in 8 Montanans struggle with hunger, including 45,000 children living in food insecure homes. In addition, nearly 72,000 individuals live in areas considered food deserts
and have limited access to a grocery store or supermarket, making access to fresh, affordable food a daily challenge.
The West Shore Food Bank in Lakeside, MT is helping mitigate that by offering food and other services to the residents on the upper West Shore. You can help by donating today.
Who We Are
West Shore Food Bank is proudly 100% volunteer-run and supported by a dedicated, hands-on Board of Directors who are passionate about serving our community and ensuring that no one goes away hungry.
Our current Board Officers are:
-
Julia Sunde – President
-
Marty Sunde – Secretary
-
Celia Eastburn – Treasurer
-
In addition to our officers, nine Board Directors play an essential role in keeping the food bank running smoothly. Each director takes responsibility for key areas of our operations, including overseeing special programs, coordinating volunteers, purchasing food for distribution days, and maintaining our building and facilities. Together, this committed team works behind the scenes and on the front lines to ensure our food bank continues to serve our neighbors with care, compassion, and dedication.
