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 197,000 people monthly through 465 partners in 44 counties. 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 5 meals. Idaho Central Credit Union has generously offered to match every donation made today dollar for dollar, up to $15,000!
Today $1 donation = food for 10 meals thanks to ICCU!
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!

Pack the Plane
Sponsored by:Alaska Airlines
It's that time again for Alaska Airlines' 12th annual Pack the Plane Food Drive. During last year’s Pack the Plane food drive, Alaska and Horizon employees packed the equivalent of 25.5 cargo planes. We raised almost $130,000 in financial donations and collected more than 10,000 pounds of canned goods for local food banks, providing a half-million meals. We're virtually packing planes. The number of cargo planes we "pack" is based on overall space and weight load capacity of a Boeing 737-400 freighter aircraft. This year our communities need assistance more than ever. Please join our employees in rising up and lifting our communities with life's basic essential - food.
