There are a lot of bad people willing to prey on people with good intentions.

We are happy to announce that The Billings Food Bank has earned a 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently allocate and grow its finances. Less than a quarter of the charities we've rated have received our highest rating, indicating that The Billings Food Bank outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to operate in the most fiscally responsible way possible. This 'exceptional' rating from Charity Navigator differentiates The Billings Food Bank from its peers and proves that it's worthy of the public's trust.

You can't go wrong with the Red Cross. I know it's boring. But they're there, and they are ready.

We took whatever people had. And if they didn't have anything and they seemed credible, we helped them anyway.

Most people don't know we're here--they think of the Salvation Army first.
