Giving Tuesday

Will you join our efforts today to deliver hope for the holidays?
#GivingTuesday is a national day of generosity, a day when you have the opportunity to positively impact neighbors who may not know where their next meal is coming from, providing both sustenance and peace of mind.

With your help, The Idaho Foodbank will be able to provide nutritious meals to Idahoans experiencing food insecurity. The need is great, as we are currently serving an average of 182,500 people monthly through 465+ partners across the state. Eliminating the obstacle of obtaining food during this difficult time will enable families to focus on recovery. More than a meal, your gift may provide the stretch needed to a family grocery budget that allows them to fund other necessities like rent and medical expenses.

At The Idaho Foodbank we are able to turn a $1 donation into the food for up to 4 meals. Corwin Ford has generously offered to match every donation made during November dollar for dollar, up to $30,000!
Today $1 donation = food for 8 meals thanks to Corwin Ford!

Here are a few simple ways you can join us:
• Consider making a gift this #GivingTuesday
• Volunteer with us
• Become a fundraiser
• Help us get the word out on social media by sharing, tagging and liking our posts
• Share photos on your social platform about what The Idaho Foodbank means to you
• Do something kind for another person, help a neighbor in need!
