The Human Bean in Treasure Valley is hosting its Annual Food Drive on Friday, August 8. On this special day, one dollar for every drink sold will be donated to The Idaho Foodbank to support food assistance programs locally.

While many food distribution centers receive donations during the holidays, hunger doesn’t know a season. So each year, The Human Bean opts to host a giveback event during the summer months when pantry stocks are generally low and the need is greater. Last year, all of The Human Bean locations across the U.S. were able to collectively fund the equivalent of 202,998 meals!

Customers are invited to visit The Human Bean on August 8 and raise a cup to fight hunger. Your drink purchases on this day have the power to make someone else’s day easier, healthier, and better!

Idaho's first can structure competition held at the Boise Towne Square this summer. Treasure Valley architectural firms and other local businesses
compete in designing and building sculptures made entirely of canned goods and other nonperishable food items. These canned good sculptures provide an engaging way for visitors to learn about the fight against hunger in Idaho and promote the presence and capabilities of various local architectural firms that pay to participate. The public have the opportunity to vote on their favorite. After the sculptures are dismantled, all canned goods are donated to the Idaho Food bank.
