Thrivent Food Truck
On behalf of the Harlowton Ministerial Association, I would like to thank the over fifty volunteers that distributed 8,316 pounds of food during the June 12 Thrivent Food Truck event co-sponsored by the Montana Food Bank Network. These are amazing numbers, but what is more amazing and inspiring is the enthusiasm with which you went about the hard work of setting up, distributing, and cleaning up. I believe that we positively affected the lives of 131 families (335 individuals) in our surrounding communities. This event showed the need that exists outside of our local food bank operations. The Montana Food Bank Network has graciously donated three more pallets of food. This food will be distributed after the Harlowton Area Food Bank is relocated to the basement of the Federated Church, 15 1st NW, Harlowton, sometime this summer. We also appreciate the use of the ambulance barn – it was a perfect venue! We are interested in your impressions of this event. Please blog your comments reflecting upon the following questions:· What was the best aspect of the distribution?· What are your suggestions regarding the improvement of the distribution process?· Were you satisfied with the event?· Would you participate again?· In what ways did you participate?
