* PRC – No Kid Hungry Great Falls

In Montana, one in five children struggle with hunger. PRC VISTAs serving with Montana No Kid Hungry are dedicated to putting an end to child hunger by improving food access and increasing participation in school meal programs. PRC VISTAs serving with Montana No Kid Hungry partner with school districts—in this case, the Great Falls Public School District—to develop the food service program’s capacity to increase student access to school breakfast, afterschool meals, summer food service sites, and other community food access programs. Located in central Montana, Great Falls is a city steeped in tradition where you can experience the rich heritage of the American West, with easy access to exceptional outdoor recreational opportunities, cultural amenities, wild rivers, vast mountains, and the sprawling plains. To end child hunger, we need you to serve in Great Falls!
