Food Insecurity in Montana
Food Insecurity is a growing issue in Montana
More than 58,000 individuals in Montana live in areas considered food deserts and have limited access to a grocery store or supermarket, making access to fresh, affordable food a daily challenge.
Vista Ridge Foundation is deeply committed to addressing food insecurity in Montana in ways that create meaningful, sustainable change.
It is our goal to implement accessible community programs and to establish effective solutions that engage community members with a specific emphasis on children and families.
