About Us

A cornerstone of
Havre's community
for over four decades.

Founded in 1985, Havre Food Bank grew from a small pantry effort into the primary food relief organization for Richland County. What started as a handful of volunteers packing boxes in a church basement has grown into a full-service food bank serving thousands of neighbors each month.

We partner with local farmers, regional distributors, and national programs like Feeding America to stock our shelves with fresh produce, pantry staples, and household essentials — all provided at no cost to the families who need them most.

What We Offer

Services that meet
your community where it is.

From emergency food boxes to nutrition education, we provide a range of programs designed to address both immediate needs and long-term food security.

Food Distribution

Weekly and monthly food pantry visits providing fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples — all free of charge to eligible families.

Emergency Assistance

Immediate food relief for families experiencing unexpected crises — job loss, medical emergencies, or natural disasters — with no appointment needed.

Nutrition Education

Free workshops and resources on budget-friendly cooking, meal planning, and making the most of fresh ingredients — led by certified nutritionists.

Senior Meal Program

Nutritious meals and food packages delivered to homebound seniors in Richland County, along with regular wellness check-ins.

School Pantry

Discreet food packages available for students through our partnership with local schools — because a hungry child can't learn.

Community Garden

Our community garden grows fresh vegetables donated directly to our pantry, while offering volunteers and neighbors a chance to grow together.
