âThis is particularly valuable with Easter coming up quickly. Albertsons is a wonderful partner in the community, helping feed families and seniors in need, said Stacy Brown, executive director of Family Service.
Families in need, low-income seniors and individuals in need of food can qualify for bountiful food distribution at Family Service, 3927 1st Ave. S. iin Billings. They are open Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for food box assistance.
BILLINGS, Mont. - Family Service of Billings will receive 500 Hormel hams from Albertsons on Monday, March 15 at 10 a.m.
Senior Director of Development at Family Service Jane McCracken said the hams will go into food boxes to help people in the community. She said they ve had dramatic increases in the number of people they ve seen over the past year. Many families are seeking food help for the first time. Last month, I happened to be walking through the parking lot and an elderly lady stopped me, McCracken said. She was helping her even more elderly husband in on a walker. And, she said, You need to know this. I have never asked for help in my life. This is the first time. I have come in here four times and I am so grateful.
