Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

It’s a busy, happy week for Mike Halligan.

The executive director of the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation http://www.dpwfoundation.org/ spent the past couple of days delivering checks to food banks, pantries, rescue missions and homeless shelters in the area.

More monetary donations were mailed Monday to distribution centers and networks around the state. Some 70 of them will receive a whopping $160,000 for the second holiday season in a row.

The recipients are spread across the state, Halligan said Tuesday, on Indian reservations and other communities small and large.

"If they’ve got a pantry or something, we try to make sure they’re spread around so that we hit the most people geographically," he said.
