Finishing the Year Strong: $100K Matching Challenge

Act Now to Double Your Gift: Help Unlock the $100K Match Today!

Okii Friends of FAST Blackfeet,

Thank you for being part of our work this year. Your generosity and care have carried our community through a time of extraordinary need and change.

When the state of emergency and SNAP suspension left many families without essential support earlier this fall, our phones rang nonstop. The Ō’yō’·ṗ’ Food Pantry saw record numbers of households seeking help, including families who had never needed assistance before. In the face of this challenge, volunteers delivered food across miles of snow-covered roads. Local growers shared what they could. Neighbors checked on elders and stocked mini-pantries. Donors like you helped fill critical funding gaps. These moments reminded us that food access is not just about survival, it’s about community strength and sovereignty.

This experience reaffirmed what we’ve always believed: that the path to a healthy, food-secure Blackfeet Nation depends on all of us. FAST remains committed to a future where every household has access to healthy, culturally relevant food and where food systems are once again guided by local knowledge, respect, and care for one another.

Today, we have an incredible opportunity to make that vision stronger than ever.
A generous donor has offered to match every gift, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000 for all donations received before January 15th. That means your support will go twice as far to strengthen FAST’s mission and build lasting sustainability for the years ahead.

Your gift today will help ensure that FAST continues to feed, educate, and empower our community for generations to come.

Please make your matched donation before December 31.

With gratitude and hope,
The FAST Blackfeet Team
