The annual Feed the Need benefit concert brought in more than $183,000 for the Flathead Food Bank, marking a record-setting night of community support in the Flathead Valley. 

This week on News Now, we hear from Executive Director Chris Sidmore and country artist Drake Milligan who helped make the event possible at the Wachholz College Center.

Sidmore shares how the fundraiser impacts families across northwest Montana, while Milligan reflects on performing at the benefit following the release of his new album Tumbleweed. 

With performances by Tommy Edwards and Clint Sherman, support from local businesses, and generous donor matches, the night underscored the strength of the Flathead community and its commitment to addressing food insecurity.
