Scouting for Food, hosted by Scouting America, is one of Idaho’s largest annual food drives. Volunteers across the Treasure, Magic, and Wood River Valley will pick up food from designated neighborhoods. If you find a door hanger at your house on November 1st, you can leave a donation outside your front door for the Scouts to pick up on November 8th.  If you don't receive a door hanger, you can still donate at one of the drop-off sites listed below.

Albertsons and The Idaho Foodbank are partnering again this holiday season to address food insecurity. From November 1 through December 31, 2025, customers can support The Idaho Foodbank by purchasing Holiday Bucks for the Feed Joy campaign when they pay for their purchases at select Albertsons locations.

At The Avery and Tiner’s Alley, food is how we show love, and we believe everyone deserves to be fed.

From today through next Friday, half of all dessert sales from both of our restaurants will be donated to The Idaho Foodbank and The Avery Hotel will then match every dollar raised to increase impact.

If you can make it in for dessert this week, you’ll be helping us feed our community, and we’d love to see you.
