Kristen, Mark, Rod, Kyle, Chris, Vanity and Teri of the Blue and Gold to Help Those in Need Motorcycle Club.

The Blue and Gold to Help Those in Need motorcycle group held a fun run to Jackpot, Nev., last week. They had approximately 60 riders attend and collected $500 for The Idaho Foodbank, which was delivered via motorcycles to the Eastern Branch warehouse in Pocatello on May 10.

Fun fact: The motorcycle club has an expletive in it’s actual name, so they call themselves the Blue and Gold to Help Those in Need motorcycle club in the media.

Regardless of what they call themselves, we are very grateful to the club members for thinking of their hungry Idaho neighbors. That $500 will provide 1,500 meals to people who really need the help. Thanks, Blue and Gold.

Looking a little tired after their March on Hunger: Aaron Wilkinson, Chris Taylor and Joseph Han.

Chris Taylor organized a group of wonderful and energetic folks committed to fitness and alleviating hunger. He and the others chose to walk from The Idaho Foodbank warehouse in Pocatello to Inkom and back. And they each made the 30-mile March on Hunger with a 30-pound backpack of food. The event garnered more than $1,756 in pledges.

Big thanks to Chris and marchers Joseph Han, Dennis and Colby Ketterman, and Aaron Wilkinson. Your pledges will provide 5,268 meals. That will alleviate a lot of hunger.
