The Livingston Community Bakery encourages the community and Montana to eat good to feel good. As part of the Livingston Food Resource Center, the want for customers and clients are: “Not only will you leave with delicious, made-from-scratch baked goods, but your dollars will be used to created training and job opportunities, purchase goods from local farmers and ranchers, and supply institutions, fresh bread to food pantries across our state.”
George Peirce, CEO of the Food Resource Center shared of the center’s beginnings, “It started in 2009 out of a gas station over on M Street, here in town.” Recently retired CEO Michael McCormick later secured funds to buy the property at the corner of S 2nd and W Lewis Streets where the food pantry, commercial kitchen, and community room opened in 2015.
