MISSOULA - The Missoula Food Bank is making a donation plea of a different sort. Instead of asking for donations of food or money, the nonprofit is encouraging donors to look beyond Missoula when considering a donation.

Food Bank director Cynthia Lotty sent a letter recently inviting people to think not only about local families but those in far off places such as Haiti where food aid is urgently needed. She encourages people to give to the cause that is most compelling to them right now.

Lotty says the organization made the same suggestion after Hurricane Katrina. Although it serves Missoula, Lotty says the Food Bank is concerned about hunger wherever it occurs. Last year, the nonprofit served 55,000 people.
