Our
Mission
The Town Pump Charitable Foundation was established in 1999 with the mission of providing financial support to Montana charitable organizations with a priority of supporting/meeting basic needs and education for Montana citizens.
This year marks 24 years since Town Pump began the annual “Be a Friend in Deed, Help Those in Need” campaign to raise funds for Montana Food Banks and to create awareness of food insecurity in our state.
Our Food Bank partners continue to report that they are seeing an increase in people walking through their doors. Town Pump employees are collecting donations and working with our food bank partners to raise much-needed funds.
Thriving Generations Grants • In 2025, The Town Pump Charitable Foundation targeted providing one-time funding to Montana Senior Citizen Centers. These grants could be used for repairs and maintenance, programing costs, equipment replacement, and other services determined by the local board of directors. Grant Recipients will be announced soon.

Supporting the project to re-light Butte's Headframes
Many of our Montana neighbors live in rural, remote, low population areas without access to emergency food assistance or nutritious quality food. The Montana Food Bank Network offers Mail-A-Meal in 26 counties either through Mail-A-Meal drop-sites or Mail-A-Meal Direct providing 30 pound boxes of shelf stable food. Town Pump is pleased to offer financial assistance to the Montana Food Bank Network to support this innovative program.
