Ada County Crop Hunger Walk
Crop Hunger Walks are community-based walk events held in cities and towns across the United States to raise funds for hunger relief. This year’s Ada County Crop Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday, October 12 at the Agriculture Pavilion in Julia Davis Park (the shelter between the Bandshell and the Zoo on the greenbelt/river side). Registration starts at 2:30 pm and the walk starts at 3:00 pm. The walk is a 3-mile loop, beginning on the greenbelt, then switching to streets downtown and then back to Julia Davis Park for the return. A one-mile loop will also be available.
Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will be donated to The Idaho Foodbank, whose mission is to nourish, educate, and advocate to support thriving, food-secure communities across Idaho. The other seventy-five percent will be given to Church World Service, a faith-based organization whose mission is to transform communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement, and disaster.

MOO Bucks
Sponsored by:Albertsons
People can donate “Moo Bucks” at Albertsons checkouts June 1-15. While it’s easy for people to donate canned and dry goods, fresh milk is much harder to donate because it’s perishable. Thus, even though food pantries report milk is one of the most requested items, it’s difficult for them to meet the demand. A donation to Moo Bucks help The Idaho Foodbank purchase and distribute dairy foods to clients and give them vouchers to redeem for milk.
Thanksgiving in June
Sponsored by:City of Trees Real Estate
The Idaho Foodbank receives most of its food donations during the holiday season. City of Trees knew that this was where they could help. To shed light on this issue, City of Trees Real Estate committed to creating an event the entire community could rally around, and thus, "Thanksgiving in June" was born. The goal is to fill the City of Trees Real Estate moving truck as many times as possible over a two-day event, but also throughout the entire month of June.
Scheduled Events:
• June 3rd or 4th - City of Trees Real Estate Team Volunteering at The Idaho Foodbank
• June 15th - Big Jud’s - $1 per burger donated
• June 13th - COTRE Happy Hour – collecting donations
• June 29th + 30th - Fred Meyer’s Grocery Store Booth -- (Linder and Glenwood)
