Mergenthaler Transfer and Storage held a pair of "Fill-A-Truck" food drives in November to help stock the shelves at food banks in Montana this Thanksgiving season.
The Mergenthaler branches in Helena and Great Falls stationed one of their moving trucks outside of local grocery stores and challenged their community to donate enough non-perishable food items to fill the entire vehicle!
On November 5, the crew in Helena was stationed outside of the Vans Thriftway Food Store. The Great Falls team had a truck parked outside of Super 1 Foods on November 9.
Together, the two branches collected an astounding grand total of more than 22,000 pounds of food, which equates to 18,500 meals for their neighbors in need. Mergenthaler personally delivered the donations to the Great Falls Community Food Bank and Helena Food Share. 
There are nearly 140,000 people, including 1 in 5 children, in Montana who face hunger each and every day. Thank you to the teams at both Mergenthaler Transfer and Storage locations and their respective communities for making a huge impact in the fight against hunger in the state!
