Idaho Kind is a movement where good intentions and action collide, a time when one act of kindness can have a ripple effect.

Launching on March 1st and running through the end of the month, The Idaho Foodbank and its partners across the state encourage the community to share kindness. Kindness is choosing to do something that helps  others, motivated by genuine warm feelings.  Researchers have found that people who are kind or regularly engage in acts of kindness tend to have higher well-being.

The goal of this campaign is to raise the food and funds for 2 million meals in March and to show 1,000 acts of kindness. We encourage individuals to engage in their communities by giving monetarily and/or making an act of kindness such as volunteering or publicly supporting hunger relief and thus their neighbors. We invite corporations to participate by joining our Idaho Kind Corporate Challenge.

Acts of kindness are not limited to The Foodbank, we want kindness to be felt everywhere and know that every act is contagious.

We hope that every Idahoan will join the #IdahoKind Challenge by completing and sharing acts of kindness on social media with #IdahoKind to inspire others.

Holiday Heroes gives the community an opportunity to donate funds/food and volunteer to help put together food boxes for a food distribution in Lewiston. This campaign is a multi-day in person and a month long online event. The purpose is to raise enough money at the registers at Rosauers and online to purchase food bags for holiday meals. These food bags/boxes will be distributed at the fair building the week of Christmas.

Will you join our efforts today to deliver hope for the holidays?
#GivingTuesday is a national day of generosity, a day when you have the opportunity to positively impact neighbors who may not know where their next meal is coming from, providing both sustenance and peace of mind.

With your help, The Idaho Foodbank will be able to provide nutritious meals to Idahoans experiencing food insecurity. The need is great, as we are currently serving an average of 182,500 people monthly through 465+ partners across the state. Eliminating the obstacle of obtaining food during this difficult time will enable families to focus on recovery. More than a meal, your gift may provide the stretch needed to a family grocery budget that allows them to fund other necessities like rent and medical expenses.

At The Idaho Foodbank we are able to turn a $1 donation into the food for up to 4 meals. Corwin Ford has generously offered to match every donation made during November dollar for dollar, up to $30,000!
Today $1 donation = food for 8 meals thanks to Corwin Ford!

Here are a few simple ways you can join us:
• Consider making a gift this #GivingTuesday
• Volunteer with us
• Become a fundraiser
• Help us get the word out on social media by sharing, tagging and liking our posts
• Share photos on your social platform about what The Idaho Foodbank means to you
• Do something kind for another person, help a neighbor in need!
