Scouting for Food – Southwest Idaho
Scouting for Food, hosted by Scouting America, is one of Idaho’s largest annual food drives. Volunteers across the Treasure, Magic, and Wood River Valley will pick up food from designated neighborhoods. If you find a door hanger at your house on November 1st, you can leave a donation outside your front door for the Scouts to pick up on November 8th. If you don’t receive a door hanger, you can still donate at one of the drop-off sites listed below.

The food and fund drive is organized by The U of I Alumni Association and will take place the entire week of homecoming. Collection bins will be located in several areas on the U of I campus. A change drive will also be part of the festivities.
Ada County Crop Hunger Walk
Sponsored by:Crop Hunger Walk
The Ada County CROP Hunger Walk invites you to join our walk to celebrate CROP Hunger Walk’s 50th Anniversary--this is Ada County CROP Hunger Walk’s 38th year! CROP Hunger Walks help hunger efforts locally, nationally and globally.
25% of all funds generated from our walk will be designated to the Idaho Foodbank and remain in Idaho to end hunger here.
Walkers enjoy the 3.4 mile route on the greenbelt as well as downtown Boise. We walk 3.4 miles because that is the distance many people in our world have to walk to access water. A one mile route is available for folks who are unable to do the longer walk.
Please join us October 13th to end hunger one step at a time.
Together, we can help end hunger in our community and around the world!

Student Day of Caring
Sponsored by:Twin County United Way
Incorporated in the first day of school activities, more than 250 students are prepared to volunteer at various LC Valley locations for approximately two hours. Our goal is to provide teams of volunteers with meaningful, hands-on projects. Students should have fun and experience the rewards of volunteering, while learning about the important work of your organization.
By providing students with a first-hand look at the services provided in our community, we can raise awareness about local needs and promote volunteerism for students continue throughout the year – and into the future.
