The better news, however, is that (unofficially), the Headwaters Area Food Bank collects a whopping 2262 pounds! We also had almost $200 donated to our outstanding School Lunch Account balance. Three Forks, we can not thank you enough. We are Wolves!

Three Forks FCCLA students are back for the annual 'Sub for Santa' project. For the 2023 Three Forks Chamber of Commerce Christmas Stroll (December 1) , commemorative Christmas Stroll buttons are being sold to generate funding to provide gift and food baskets to families in need this holiday season. Buttons also double as delightful ornaments to adorn the tree with. Supporting the 'Sub for Santa' project is easy. Stroll buttons are available from this weekend at Be Lazy Quilting, Legacy Trading, Main Street Office and Manhattan Bank. The night of the stroll, watch for FCCLA Elves in front of Legacy Trading on the corner of Main and Cedar.

Congratulations to Ashley Darling, our Lead Chef Extraordinaire, in the Three Forks Lunch Room. Ashley recently competed in the Montana School Nutrition Association's School Foods contest.
