Conversation with Flathead Food Bank: Preparing for Holiday Drives

Daily Inter Lake

The Flathead Food Bank is preparing to distribute 750 Thanksgiving meals on Nov. 22 and 600 Christmas meals on Dec. 20, but it takes a village to make it happen. In reporter Taylor Inman's interview with Director Chris Sidmore, he shares the immense effort of staff, volunteers, and community partners to support families in need. From a $20,000 donation by Kalispell Auto Group to fund food programs for local kids, to $85,000 and countless volunteer hours from Applied Materials, the generosity of this community is inspiring.
