Please note that due to the ongoing government shutdown, folks who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) may see a delay and decrease in their benefits. You can find updates on Montana DPHHS’s website: dphhs.mt.gov/HCSD/SNAP. The Montana Food Bank Network also has a map of local sources of help for getting food on the table: mfbn.org/get-help
