Feed the Need 2020 – Lewiston
The holiday season will be upon us before we know it. For many of us, it’s a season of joy, thankfulness and giving. But for our neighbors, many of them still out of work, who suffer from food insecurity, it can be a season of stress and worry. There are several contributing factors, from school-age kids being out on break to friends and relatives visiting over the holidays. Regardless of the reasons, the demand for food assistance over the holidays increases significantly. Hence, the Feed the Need campaign in October. Please join The Idaho Foodbank in this food and fund drive benefiting our partner agencies in the five-county region of North Central Idaho, consisting of Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis and Nez Perce counties.
Sponsored by Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU), grocery stores in Moscow will be collecting food and funds for The Idaho Foodbank. These collaborations across the state are the key to addressing hunger in Idaho.
We sincerely hope you will partner with The Idaho Foodbank in October to Feed the Need this holiday season!

Updated bowl pick-up times will be published before bowl sales begin.
