Come to this event and donate your nonperishable items.
Donations will be taken to the Kalispell area Food Banks.
Bring your own non-alcoholic drinks and munchies for lunch.
There are hamburger and pizza spots within a few blocks and a grocery store
with delicatessen across the street.
==================================================
Starting in 2022 Kalispell Food Banks began struggling to keep food on their shelves due to a decrease in overall donations and an increase in customers that needed their services.
==================================================
Bring non-perishable items to donate .
A donation box will be available for those wishing to donate in any other manner.
If you can’t bring anything to donate, no worry, come anyway, and just have fun!
There will be plenty of time for GGYG (General Geocaching Yak and Gab ).
Non geocachers are very welcome,
come and see what the great sport of geocaching is all about. ![smiley smiley](https://imgproxy.geocaching.com/0de514e5ae8c35bf60736e898f8286e9002fba90?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.ckeditor.com%2F4.13.0%2Ffull-all%2Fplugins%2Fsmiley%2Fimages%2Fregular_smile.png)
