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. Please help us promote, share, invite your friends, family and co-workers to our FB event. Help us fund this amazing community resource!

Stinker Stores will be presenting the Stomp Out Hunger check to The Idaho Foodbank at The Idaho Steelheads game on January 10, 2024. If spectators would like to participate in giving, every $5 received helps us provide food for up to 15 meals to Idahoans experiencing food insecurity.
