Beyond our food pantry, The LFRC conducts the following programs, all aimed at fighting poverty and creating economic impact in our community.
Community Bakery: Provides nutritious, whole wheat bread to our pantry as well as other pantries across the state, while simultaneously generating revenue through its retail operation to help support LFRC programming.
Healthy Weekends: Provide nutritious, supplemental weekend food to school aged children who face food insufficiency at home on weekends and holidays when they don't have access to school meals.
Kids Cooking Camp: Teaches children, ages 5 to 10, the importance of good nutrition, food and kitchen safety, sanitation, basic cooking skills, and how to make healthy meals and snacks for themselves and their families.
Pantry Supper Club: Provides homemade, nutritious dinners, five nights per week, to low income elderly people and others in need of the program in Livingston and Park County.
Behavioral Health Counseling: Provides individuals, couples, and family counseling, free of charge, to all Livingston Food Pantry clients who seek help. Additional support services, including SNAP, LIEAP, unemployment, and housing applications are also provided when needed.
Healthy Families Tent at Livingston Farmers Market: Provides access to family resources including WIC and SNAP support, free kids books, as well as free local produce through our token program.
Summer Lunch: Provides nutritious meals to children Monday-Friday during the summer months. This program is accomplished in partnership with The Livingston School District and Farm to School Park County.
Local Food Acquisition Fund: Focuses on local purchasing from farmers, ranchers, and producers across Montana to provide our clients with the best food possible while simultaneously supporting our local economy.
