Volunteers from Joe Hall Ford and other local businesses will spend the day outside the Rosauer's entrance accepting donations from shoppers of cereal and peanut butter. In the last five years to date, they have collected over 9,000 boxes of cereal and over 4,000 pounds of peanut butter. The event is part of the Focus on Child Hunger that is held annually throughout the Northwest by local Ford dealerships.

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.
