Devastating floods have taken over our small towns and it is time to step up and do as much as we can. Bozeman is always giving back and we know we can rely on our community to come together and help.

We have teamed up with these local businesses to collect and deliver water to those in need:

Town and Country Foods. They are helping by having all 5 of their locations available for drop-off and helping with the delivery.

Flood survivors or survivors of any natural disaster are always in need of water. We use water for cooking, cleaning, baby formula, drinking, everything. Water is always needed for the volunteers and first responders who are putting their best foot forward and helping these families and communities get back on their feet.
