Livingston Food Resource Center

The Livingston Food Resource Center's mission is to increase nutrition security and overall well-being in our community by addressing the root causes of hunger. Nutrition security goes beyond simply providing food-it's about investing in the long-term health and strength of our community. Ensuring access to fresh, nutrient-dense, and culturally relevant food means our neighbors, families, and children have what they need to not just survive, but thrive. This work is a commitment to the future. It's an investment in the well-being of every person we serve. Not all food solves hunger-nutrition security ensures every bite counts towards a healthier life.

The Livingston Food Resource Center (LFRC) combats food insecurity and promotes wellness across Park County by prioritizing nutrition security-ensuring our neighbors have consistent access to fresh, nutrient-dense food essential for long-term health.

We operate ten food access programs, including our Mobile Pantry, School Pantries, in-person shopping, Pantry Supper Club (which traveled 4,000+ miles to reach our most isolated neighbors), the Farmers Market Program, Summer Lunch, and the Kamut for Community Bread Program-and more. But our work goes beyond food: we also provide mental health counseling, public benefits navigation, and other holistic services to meet people where they are.

In 2024, LFRC served 2,260 unique individuals-17% of Livingston and 12% of the county. Of those, 35% had never used our services before. When asked, clients reported housing costs and fixed incomes as the primary reasons for seeking support-needs that continue to grow.

By partnering with local producers, investing in sustainable solutions, and addressing the root causes of hunger, LFRC is building a stronger, more resilient community-one meal, one neighbor
