ISU vs. UI Tackle Hunger Football Game
Idaho State University and University of Idaho are teaming up once again to raise funds and food to support fellow Idahoans!
On Saturday, November 23rd, University of Idaho’s football team will be playing Idaho State University in Pocatello at the ICCU Dome. This friendly rivalry game is the perfect backdrop for a friendly rivalry fundraiser between the two schools. In the week leading up to the game, as well as during the game that day – both institutions will be accepting monetary and food donations that will go directly to supporting The Idaho Foodbank in helping to address food insecurity in Idaho. Any donations may be dropped off to your nearest Foodbank warehouse, or to the Alumni offices at both Universities.
Come join us at the game and show your support for your team by donating to The Idaho Foodbank! This year, we’re hoping to raise enough funds to provide food for over 18,000 meals!

Additional Idaho Foodbank Causes
Ham-A-Palooza
Sponsored by:LCCU
LCCU is excited to launch our holiday ham drive to help less fortunate families right here in their communities. Since 2014, we have donated nearly 4,000 hams to local families in need.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of community members like you, our program has been incredibly successful. LCCU partners with local food banks who distribute the hams to 700 families each year. Recently, however, you have probably noticed the rise of hunger in our community. That’s where you come in! LCCU is asking you to donate to the Ham-a-Palooza campaign. By donating, you will be able to help make this holiday season a little brighter (and yummier!) for local families! This year the goal is to raise as much money as possible. Please help reach the full LCCU matching amount of $4,000. The more we raise, the more families, together, we are able to feed.

November Idaho Foodbank Drive
Sponsored by:Toby Davis
It's been a rough year, and I know because of the pandemic, there will probably be an increased need for food in our community. I want to help, so for the whole month of November, I will donate $100 to the Idaho Foodbank for every oil painting sold.
I have many sizes available, but there are many that sell for just $195. For under $200, you can own an original oil painting, and also provide 500 meals for people in our community.
Paintings can be purchased online on Etsy (Etsy.com/shop/tobydavisart). I also have paintings hanging at the Capitol Contemporary Gallery on Capitol Boulevard in downtown Boise and the Gallery at Finer Frames in downtown Eagle. All links and information will be on my website - tobydavisart.com.

Ada County Crop Hunger Walk
Sponsored by:CROP Hunger Walk
On Sunday, October 18, you are invited to walk with us to end hunger, one step at a time. This year we will be “walking together apart”. Even though walkers may be walking in their own neighborhoods or joining their church’s team for a “micro walk”, we will be walking together to end hunger.
The suggested distance for the walk is 3.4 miles because that is the distance many people in our world have to walk to access water.
We will be walking to raise funds to support the global mission of Church World Service, a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster.
We will be walking to share 25% of the funds generated from the event to be designated to the Idaho Foodbank that assists food programs here in Idaho.
If ever there was a need for us to WALK TO END HUNGER ONE STEP AT A TIME, it is now, October 18, 2020. Please join us! Together, we can raise funds, walk together apart and help end hunger in our community and around the world!
