ROOTS

ROOTS is a monthly grocery delivery (or pick-up) program for income-qualifying people aged 60 or older.

On the second Thursday of each month, staple food items are delivered to the doorsteps of seniors. We provide home deliveries for ROOTS customers regardless of their mobility or transportation abilities. 

Food is also available for pick up, at which time seniors can also shop our Store Program. 

Included with pantry staples, MFB&CC supplements ROOTS boxes with fresh produce and supplemental nutrition drinks.

USDA and Missoula Food Bank & Community Center are equal opportunity providers and employers.
