Montana food banks are set to lose more than 300,000 pounds of food after the U.S. Department of Agriculture canceled $500 million in purchases for the Emergency Food Assistance Program. The Missoula Food Bank and Community Center, part of the Montana Food Bank Network, will lose $180,000 worth of food, or 91,000 pounds, from the cuts. The food bank distributed 2.8 million pounds of food last year, including 228,290 pounds from the emergency assistance program. Government funding makes up about 21% of the organization’s budget, and the cuts could significantly impact the food bank’s operations and the community's food security.

The Montana Food Bank Network, which supplies food to more than 170 food banks and pantries statewide, is facing significant challenges due to federal budget cuts. The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funds, which cover about 10 percent of the food supplied, have been canceled, leading to a loss of 300,000 pounds of food worth over $400,000. This reduction will affect all demographics in Montana, including reservations, rural, and urban communities. The network relies on funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to purchase nutritious food, and the cancellation of CCC funds is part of broader federal budget cuts that may continue.
