It's that turkey time of the year! Come join Barrie's Ski & Sports for their 15th annual Cranksgiving event. To meet the increased need for assistance in Bannock county, we are asking for your support to help us gather turkeys to be distributed at the Bannock County Thanksgiving food box distribution. Turkeys and monetary donations can be dropped off at Barrie's Ski & Sports, the Idaho Foodbank, and any Pocatello ICCU branch. All donations will need to be made by 10:00am November 19th.

Want to continue the fun? Grab your bike and meet us at 10:00am at Barrie's Ski and Sports on Saturday, November 19th as we peddle the remaining precious proteins to the food bank warehouse.

For more information you can contact the Pocatello branch at 208-233-8811.

Help Support the Idaho Foodbank! For every vehicle sold through January, a $50 donation will go to the Idaho Foodbank.

The Pocatello Police Department has launched its 4th annual “Give the Cops a Bird” turkey drive. All proceeds go directly to the local Idaho Foodbank to help feed the hungry in our community. Frozen turkeys and monetary donations will be accepted through Friday, November 18th at the Pocatello Police Department (lobby). Since turkeys may be hard to come by this year, any frozen holiday meat will also be accepted.

If you’re interested in making a monetary donation, make checks payable to the “Pocatello FOP Union.” PPD also has a Venmo account available for donations: @Portneuf-Valley-Lodge. Financial donations can also be dropped off at the Pocatello Police Department.

Don’t miss your chance to “Give the Cops a Bird” and help us help the community.
