Neighbors Feeding Neighbors

Food Drive

Every fall, Land to Hand works to fill our Kids and Family Pantry for the busy holiday season. Our Neighbors Feeding Neighbors food drive runs now through December 16, and every item collected goes straight to local families, making sure kids across the valley have easy, nourishing food within reach.

Our goal this year is 1,000 pounds of food. With a little help from neighbors like you, we know we can get there.

The easiest way to give: our Amazon Wishlist

Short on time? Our Amazon Wishlist is the simplest way to pitch in. Pick your items, and they ship straight to us, no trip to the store required.

If you donate this way, send a quick note with your purchase info to hello@landtohandmt.org, and we’ll get you a tax-deductible receipt. Amazon doesn’t share donor details with us, so we’ll need you to reach out.

Prefer to drop off in person?

Bring your donations to the collection bin out front of the Columbia Falls Kids Foundation building by the blue doors, Monday through Thursday from 9am to 5pm. Not sure what to bring? Check the suggested donation list below for the items our pantry needs most.
