Floods Continue in SE Montana

Flooding continues in southeastern Montana, with residents of Lodge Grass, Crow Agency and Huntley being evacuated to shelters in the Billings area. The Billings Gazette has a special section dedicated to coverage of the floods.

No doubt there will be a great need for clothing and household supplies once the waters recede, but for now, one of the best ways to help is to donate to the Billings Food Bank. You can donate online or send a check to:

Billings Food Bank
