The second Saturday in May is the largest one-day food drive in the nation. So it is appropriately named Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Day. How is it possible? It occurs in more than 10,000 cities and towns, and the food is collected by those men and women carrying our mail across the country. As they deliver to postal customers, those customers get to do their part by filling their mailbag with non-perishable food donations.

Idaho Gives

Sponsored by:The Idaho Foodbank

Upload Event Logo

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.
