The Producer Partnership was founded in Spring 2020 with the mission to end hunger in Montana. Our nonprofit organization partners with livestock producers across the state by processing donated livestock into top quality protein and providing it to food banks to help those in need. Local producers, and food centers working in partnership to provide Montana protein to those individuals and families with food insecurity. This is the spirit of Montana neighbors helping one another.

Since our founding, the Producer Partnership has been awarded 501(c)3 nonprofit status, hired staff, built our own facility, gained federal inspection, and donated nearly 250,000 pounds of Montana-raised animal protein to the Montana Food Bank Network and other charities across the Big Sky State.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“We are extremely thankful for the incredible relationship we have with The Producer Partnership. Their collaboration, commitment, ingenuity, and relentless dedication to helping end hunger in communities across the entire state of Montana is simply amazing. In just 3 short years, they have successfully sourced, processed, and donated over 250,000 pounds of USDA inspected local Montana raised beef and pork. They have shown that when neighbors come together, we can make a difference in our communities. We are very honored and privileged to be associated with The Producer Partnership and are extremely proud of what we have accomplished together so far. I am even more excited about what the future holds and what lies ahead, the possibilities are life changing and potential is overwhelming. This is something very unique and special. We hear consistently from our network of pantries, shelters, and senior centers how appreciative they are to receive their donations and how amazing the quality is, better than they can purchase in the store.”
