For the SW Montana Pantry & Services Division, fundraisers have been an important aspect of making sure veterans in need, receive food and other accommodations. Their next event aimed to raise money and bring the community together is a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on Saturday, February 18th at the Deer Lodge Elks Lodge (230 Main Street, Deer Lodge). From 6 until 8 pm, enjoy spaghetti with all the fixings to include salad and garlic bread. No host drinks will be available through the Elks Lodge bar. The cost to feast is $10 for those 13 and older and $5 for children 6 to 2 years of age. Cost is only $30 for the whole family.

Organizations such as the Anaconda Community Foundation have made it possible for everyone to enjoy the season of giving the way it was intended. On Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, 2022, a nondenominational Anaconda Community Thanksgiving dinner and gathering will take place at Holy Family's Hunthausen Center (217 W. Pennsylvania in Anaconda). ACF members and volunteers will serve a traditional feast of turkey, ham, and more from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. For those who are homebound or cannot travel, delivery will be made available at 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. To request meal delivery, call RInki at (406) 563-5582 or Sandi at (406) 559-0919.
