The Idaho Foodbank in Pocatello is hosting Scare Away Hunger on October 25th with four, 1-hour sessions, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This volunteer opportunity is open to families with children as young as four years old. Costumes are encouraged but not required (adults too).

You can expect treats, laughter, meeting new friends, and leaving feeling good knowing you helped your community. Please contact Shaela Schenk at sschenk@idahofoodbank.org if you'd like to sign up your family for this hauntingly good time.

At Maverik, we believe everyone deserves access to the food and resources they need to thrive. That's why we're partnering with Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization, to help neighbors experiencing food insecurity in local communities where we operate. We're also making it easier for our customers to chip in.

When you visit any Maverik between October 22 and December 3, you'll have the option to round up your cash or credit transaction to the nearest dollar, or more. That donation will go to help people across local Feeding America partner food banks. In Idaho, this means that your donation will support the work of The Idaho Foodbank.

We look forward to serving you and - with your help - supporting neighbors who are working hard to bring meals home.

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.

Please join us on our walk to end hunger!
