Thanksgiving in June
Sponsored by:City of Trees Real Estate
City of Trees Real Estate is celebrating 5th annual Thanksgiving in June. During the summer months, thousands of children are not getting school-provided breakfast or lunch, and overall giving is at a seasonal low for non-perishable food items. The Idaho Foodbank receives most of its food donations during the holiday season.
To shed light on this issue, the entire month of June, we have an event once a week to help collect non-perishable food items and donations for The Idaho Foodbank. To wrap up our month of giving, on June 23rd & June 24th, City of Trees Real Estate will be located at two Fred Meyer locations (Chinden & Linder and Chinden & Glenwood) collecting non-perishable food and donations for The Idaho Foodbank.
