Gap Fillers Flathead, a Columbia Falls, Montana, nonprofit organization, has successfully cleared over $9,000 of student lunch debt for families in the Columbia Falls school district.
Founded in 2019, the organization focuses on supporting under-served children. In addition to eliminating school lunch debt, they provide essential medical supplies and hygiene kits to students across Flathead County.
Their efforts are funded entirely by community donations, with many of their supporters themselves having experienced financial challenges like being able to afford school lunches.
