Community impact Helena Food Share serves a large, hungry population in Helena, with over 1,500 local families assisted monthly and 6,000 pounds of food distributed daily. This indicates a strong, repeatable need for food assistance programs, partnerships, and sustained funding opportunities.

Funding momentum Recent grants and donations including a $1.3M donation in 2024, $500K grants from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, and a $200K grant in 2025 signal active donor engagement and clear opportunities to present multi-year sponsorships, capital campaigns, and program funding aligns with expansion or facility needs.

Facility growth A recent $10.3M facility investment indicates capacity expansion and infrastructure needs. This creates up-sell opportunities for construction, logistics, warehousing tech, food safety systems, and ongoing maintenance or equipment suppliers.

Volunteer backbone With 200+ volunteers contributing about 1,300 hours monthly, there is a strong opportunity to offer volunteer management platforms, corporate volunteer programs, sponsorships, and employee engagement programs that align with CSR objectives.

Tech enablement A diversified tech stack (WordPress site, forms, email, analytics) suggests openness to digital solutions that improve donor engagement, grant tracking, e-commerce style donation flows, and volunteer coordination—areas for targeted software partnerships and services.
