Ham-A-Palooza
Sponsored by:LCCU

LCCU is excited to launch our holiday ham drive to help less fortunate families right here in their communities. Since 2014, we have donated nearly 4,000 hams to local families in need.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of community members like you, our program has been incredibly successful. LCCU partners with local food banks who distribute the hams to 700 families each year. Recently, however, you have probably noticed the rise of hunger in our community. That’s where you come in! LCCU is asking you to donate to the Ham-a-Palooza campaign. By donating, you will be able to help make this holiday season a little brighter (and yummier!) for local families! This year the goal is to raise as much money as possible. Please help reach the full LCCU matching amount of $4,000. The more we raise, the more families, together, we are able to feed.

November Idaho Foodbank Drive
Sponsored by:Toby Davis

It's been a rough year, and I know because of the pandemic, there will probably be an increased need for food in our community. I want to help, so for the whole month of November, I will donate $100 to the Idaho Foodbank for every oil painting sold.
I have many sizes available, but there are many that sell for just $195. For under $200, you can own an original oil painting, and also provide 500 meals for people in our community.
Paintings can be purchased online on Etsy (Etsy.com/shop/tobydavisart). I also have paintings hanging at the Capitol Contemporary Gallery on Capitol Boulevard in downtown Boise and the Gallery at Finer Frames in downtown Eagle. All links and information will be on my website - tobydavisart.com.

Race for the Steaks
Sponsored by:The Idaho Beef Council

The 7th Annual Race for the Steaks, hosted by the Idaho Beef Council, is now Raising the ‘Steaks’ on Nutrition and Health with registration fees equally supporting the Beef Counts program benefitting The Idaho Foodbank and the Treasure Valley YMCA with $20 going to each organization. The Beef Counts program provides a much needed, high quality protein for food insecure Idahoans.
Like many community events, this annual race which typically ends with a delicious steak dinner at the finish line, will be scheduled with runners participating virtually in Point 5k / 5k / 10k distance options, and completing their course October 19 -24 with a results reporting deadline of October 25.
Ada County Crop Hunger Walk
Sponsored by:CROP Hunger Walk

On Sunday, October 18, you are invited to walk with us to end hunger, one step at a time. This year we will be “walking together apart”. Even though walkers may be walking in their own neighborhoods or joining their church’s team for a “micro walk”, we will be walking together to end hunger.
The suggested distance for the walk is 3.4 miles because that is the distance many people in our world have to walk to access water.
We will be walking to raise funds to support the global mission of Church World Service, a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster.
We will be walking to share 25% of the funds generated from the event to be designated to the Idaho Foodbank that assists food programs here in Idaho.
If ever there was a need for us to WALK TO END HUNGER ONE STEP AT A TIME, it is now, October 18, 2020. Please join us! Together, we can raise funds, walk together apart and help end hunger in our community and around the world!
