Philanthropist Mike Goguen on Saturday presented a check for $500,000 to June Munski-Feenan to complete North Valley Food Bank’s $1.5 million fundraising campaign for a new Whitefish building and endowment fund. The building will be named in honor of Goguen. “This new building is such a gift to our community,” said  Munski-Feenan, who started the food bank in her garage in 1977. “I am so grateful to Mr. Goguen and the hundreds of individuals who have helped us complete this campaign in just over a year.” According to Goguen, “One of the many things that impresses me about Montana is the way neighbors extend a helping hand when times are tough. It’s a pleasure and a privilege for me to finish out the Food Bank’s building campaign so June Munski-Feenan and her many volunteers can do an even better job of putting food on the table of every family who needs it.”
