Whether you actually care about the game or not, and no matter who wins, it always feels good to help out fellow Western Montanans during the holidays.  And anytime really.

As a native Missoulian, I would like to think we are well known for being kind.  From the local business owners to us black t-shirt wearing, scowling rockers...at the end of the day, most of us have the same goal and that is to look out for each other.

Even typically cranky effers, mega badasses & scrooges in general could agree, that knowing you helped put warm food on the table for some kids whose folks may be struggling this year, is a pretty awesome feeling.

So as much as we really DO want to shut the Cats down in more ways than one this weekend, the bottom line is to help our friends and neighbors.  And there's still almost 24 hours to do so!

Places to drop off canned food, Hamburger Helper, mac n cheese & other non perishable goodness are:

KARL TYLER CHEVROLET

ORANGE STREET FOOD FARM

ALBERTSONS

PAPA JOHNS PIZZA- you can either drop off at one of their locations or, when you order delivery, they will take your donations

YMCA

PRESS BOX

PARADISE FALLS

LOTS OF BOXES ALL OVER CAMPUS INCLUDING THE SOURCE

Last year's totals:  UM Missoula:  27,292    MSU Bozeman:  27,932

Bozeman has beat us 11 years in a row, let's kick some ass!  This year's goal is 40,000 pounds for Missoula.  Cash donations will be converted to "pounds", every $1.60 is equal to one pound donated.
