January tends to be a time when donation decrease after the holidays, making it a critical period to support our North Central- Idaho Food Bank and help meet the ongoing needs within our community! At the Idaho Food Bank, they are able to take $5 and provide food for up to 15 meals! We could visit a local grocery store and buy 3 cans of green beans for that much! They can provide up to 15 meals with a monetary donation of $5 versus 3 cans of green beans?? We are hosting our first FB event for Community Feed Forward from January 14 @midnight to February 14th, noon.
