What Livingston Food Pantry of Park County does
Mission
In 2024, the livingston food resource center (lfrc) continued its mission of addressing food insecurity and promoting community well-being across park county. Through innovative programs, partnerships with local producers, and adapting to a steadily increasing need, we deepened our impact in the community, serving more families and expanding access to nutritious food.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Food pantry programs: in 2024, through our four largest programs-our self-select, dignity-forward food pantry, mobile pantries, senior commodities, and the pantry supper club-the livingston food resource center served an average of 479 households per month. This continues a steady rise from 397 households per month in 2023, 301 in 2022, and 210 in 2021, illustrating both increased community need and our growing capacity to meet it. Of the households that accessed our services last year, 35% were first-time users. When asked what brought them to the pantry, clients cited housing costs, rising utility bills, and the limitations of fixed incomes-a clear signal that families and individuals are turning to us to avoid choosing between paying their bills and putting food on the table. Across park county, we served a total of 1,121 unique households and 2,260 individuals in 2024. That represents: 12% of park county residents, 17% of livingston, 24% of emigrant, and just under 10% of clyde park and shields valley our work is powered by our community. In 2024, 186 dedicated volunteers gave 4,430 hours of their time-an incredible demonstration of our commitment to multiplying the impact of…

In 2024, the program operated once a month at three locations-clyde park, wilsall, and emigrant-and recorded 819 total visits across 36 events. By bringing food directly to where people live, the mobile pantry ensures consistent, local access to nutritious food for some of our most rural and underserved neighbors. Pantry supper club: this program provides nutritious, scratch-made dinners five nights a week to low-income and fixed-income individuals who are unable to prepare adequate meals for themselves. In 2024, 12,315 meals were prepared and delivered. Of those served, 77% were seniors, many of whom rely on these meals as their primary source of nourishment. One client shared, "I am so thankful for these meals. I wasn't getting enough food." county-wide reach: through the mobile pantry and pantry supper club, we reached our most isolated neighbors-driving 3,657 miles in paradise valley and 694 miles in shields valley to deliver not only food, but also…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $2.0M to $1.6M (−17%).

Government-grant reliance: 2020 46% · 2021 32% · 2022 30% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
