St. Luke makes holiday donation to local food banks

St. Luke Community Healthcare recently donated over $1,200 and more than 1,200 pounds of food to support food banks in Polson, Ronan and St. Ignatius. This contribution is part of St. Luke's ongoing commitment to giving back to the community it serves.

As part of their holiday giving initiative, St. Luke collected shelf-stable, holiday-related food items to ensure that local food banks are well-equipped to provide festive meals for families in need. In addition to the food donation, St. Luke also gathered funds to assist local food banks in purchasing essential items for holiday meals.

St. Luke Community Healthcare CEO Steve Todd expressed the organization's dedication to supporting the community: "As a community-owned and operated organization, giving back is ingrained in our values. This holiday season, we are honored to support local food banks and contribute to the well-being of families in the Mission Valley. We hope these donations will help make the holidays brighter for many families in our community. We are proud to stand alongside our local food banks in their efforts to ensure that everyone can enjoy a festive and nourishing holiday season."

St. Luke encourages the community to join in the spirit of giving by also making a donation to their local food bank during this holiday season. The need is great, and every contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity.
