Idaho Gives – a program of the Idaho Nonprofit Center and powered by ICCU – is designed to bring the state together, raising money and awareness for Idaho nonprofits. Due to the increased need of support to the nonprofit sector because of COVID-19 the online giving period has been extended! Donations can be collected from May 2 - May 5. Every $1 you give to The Idaho Foodbank can provide food for 4 nutritious meals for Idahoans trying to make ends meet.

Rising prices in housing, food, and other household items, as well as the availability of affordable child care, will all factor into the success of our neighbors.
We recognize that “rent eats first”. People must keep a roof over their heads and have basic needs met. Access to free food can help make that possible.

This Idaho Gives, will you help ensure that all members of our strong Idaho community know where their next meal is coming from? Please consider giving to The Idaho Foodbank as well as other amazing nonprofits across our state.

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.
