Butte Emergency Food Bank is participating in the National Farmer to Families Food Box program.

Boxes are free to anyone, but they ask that people limit themselves to one box per week to make sure everyone in our community in need of this service can get food for their families.

Boxes can be picked up at the Butte Emergency Food Bank (1019 E. 2nd Street) in the parking lot starting at 8:30 am until we’re out.

Follow them on Facebook; updates will be posted here regularly.
