Tackling Hunger
Join Idaho State University and University of Idaho in supporting The Idaho Foodbank’s vision of a Hunger-Free Idaho! Each year, the football teams go head to head on the field in a friendly school rivalry game the Saturday before Thanksgiving. But, off the field, there’s another friendly rivalry going on – which school can bring in more donations for The Idaho Foodbank!
This year, starting Monday, November 17th and going through gameday on Saturday, November 22nd, help prove once and for all which is the better institution by making a donation on their behalf! Whether you’re a student, faculty, alumni, or a community member, any and all donations will help provide food to people in need across the state. Plus, there will be some fun rivalry side bets (announcement coming soon!) that depend on which school wins!
Throughout the week, there will be food drop-off locations around both campuses for any physical donation items. And for monetary donations, just pick your school on this page before making a donation!

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.
