Nouirish the American Dream
For too many children, when school is out, meals disappear. Weekends, holidays, and summer break can bring uncertainty about where their next meal will come from, leaving families to wonder how they’ll put food on the table.
This July 4, in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, the Albertsons Companies Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors program is launching Nourish the American Dream – a bold, nationwide, multi-year movement to help end childhood hunger once and for all.
The Idaho Foodbank is proud to join organizations across the country in this collective effort to help nourish every child’s potential.
From July 1–7, The Idaho Foodbank is raising critical funds to support our mission and contribute to Nourish the American Dream’s goal of helping more children access the nutritious food they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
During this campaign, the Albertsons Companies Foundation will match every donation up to $5,000, doubling your impact.

Million Meals in March 2019
Sponsored by:The Idaho Foodbank
millionmealsidaho.org
The Idaho Foodbank is celebrating National Nutrition Month with a special campaign – Million Meals in March, to raise awareness and funds after the holiday season.
The “Million Meals in March” campaign, is a statewide effort with a goal of collecting the food and funds for 1,000,000 meals in the month. The Foodbank distributes food for more than 1,000,000 meals every month, yet the spring is typically a time when food and fund donations drop off. This hinders the Foodbank’s efforts to reach the 1 in 8 Idahoans in need.
Presenting sponsor Southern Idaho Honda Dealers is helping the Idaho Foodbank reach this goal by offering a $20,000 match. Every dollar donated to The Idaho Foodbank can provide five meals, when doubled with individual donations these funds will provide food for 200,000 meals.
Boise Co-op downtown's First Friday March 1, is donating 3% of sales to The Idaho Foodbank's Million Meals in March campaign.
