The Idaho Foodbank is asking for help from local businesses and organizations. We need to collect enough food to fill the Bannock County Thanksgiving food boxes that will be distributed November 20th. To make this happen, we are encouraging local businesses to participate in this fun challenge. Participating businesses will be tasked with providing roughly 500 cans of a specified food item; such as 500 cans of corn or 500 cans of green beans etc. (The number may vary depending on the food item.) Points are collected based off of different activity. The business with the most points at the end of the challenge wins. This win will come with bragging rights for the year and THE TROPHY, as well as lunch and dessert delivered to their location by October 29th. More importantly, you will feel satisfied knowing that your contribution will be able to ease the unfortunate burden of a family who has fallen on rough times.

At Pioneer, we value our youth account holders and teaching them the value of saving money. This October, we are running a fun promotion to continue educating them on saving, but also sharing.

With both promotions, the youth account holder will also be encouraged to give $25 (from Pioneer) to an organization of their choice. We’ve chosen (3) organizations; The Idaho Foodbank, Idaho Humane Society, and Make a Wish Idaho for them to donate to.
