City of Trees Real Estate is celebrating 5th annual Thanksgiving in June. During the summer months, thousands of children are not getting school-provided breakfast or lunch, and overall giving is at a seasonal low for non-perishable food items.

To shed light on this issue, the entire month of June, we have an event once a week to help collect non-perishable food items and donations for The Idaho Foodbank. To wrap up our month of giving, on June 23rd & June 24th, City of Trees Real Estate will be located at two Fred Meyer locations (Chinden & Linder and Chinden & Glenwood) collecting non-perishable food and donations for The Idaho Foodbank.
