HAM DRIVE FOR FAMILIES OF THE BLACKFEET NATION IN NEED! Essential Eats Distributors is an allvolunteer based non-profit dedicated to serving hard-to-reach populations facing food insecurity. Through one of our programs, Love Heart Butte, we serve the remote area of Heart Butte, MT, located in the Blackfeet tribal land. This community has little, if any, emergency resources; the nearest grocery store is thirty miles away. One hundred percent of students enrolled in public school in Heart Butte are eligible for free and reduced lunch, and 44% of Heart Butte's population is 18 or younger, leaving the most vulnerable among us in a position of becoming even more vulnerable to food-insecurity. Our goal- partnering with Missoula Fresh Market, is to collect 100 hams from March 15 to Easter..If you would like to participate, please consider purchasing a ham on behalf of these families. Missoula Fresh Market has generously offered to lend their facilities and store all donated hams until delivery. Essential Eats Distributors, Inc. is also more than happy to pick up other hams as needed if you, your church, or other organization would prefer to collect hams on your own. Because we maintain no facilities and incur no costs, 100% of donations go directly to the cause.
