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!

Community BBQ
Sponsored by:State Farm
Kendra Rone, State Farm is organizing an online community fundraising event (in accordance with CDC guidelines and policies) to support the Idaho Foodbank in your effort to aid the public against the ongoing pandemic. We have partnered with Black Hawk BBQ Pit, local first responders (including Pocatello/Chubbuck Police and Fire departments, along with the Army National Guard) and local banks including Mountain America CU, Citizens Community Bank, ISUCU, ICCU, and Connections CU.
The event will encourage the Pocatello/Chubbuck community members to “socially engage” from a distance by ordering delicious food prepared and provided by Black Hawk BBQ Pit which will be delivered by our first responders and service member volunteers. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Idaho Foodbank for Coronavirus relief. As this is a time-sensitive situation, the three-day event will run from March 26th to the 28th with Thursday’s event dedicated to local businesses, and the two remaining for the general public.
We are looking for additional secondary sponsors to help us. Sponsor contributions include time, volunteers, or monetary donations. Your support will help us ease community tension and give everyone an opportunity to come together in new, mutually beneficial ways.

Macy's Bag Hunger
Sponsored by:Macy's

Why Bag Hunger? 10 cents is all it takes to provide a meal to someone in need. More than 37 million people are affected by hunger in the United States, including 11 million children. That means one in every five kids doesn’t have access to the food they need.*
That’s why Macy’s is committed to Bag Hunger. Since 1998, our colleagues and customers have come together to help alleviate hunger by providing support to food banks, including emergency food assistance programs and summer meal programs. Last year, Bag Hunger round-up raised more than $1.4 million for 375 local food banks.
Why Round Up? In conjunction with our Colleague Giving Bag Hunger campaign, we’re inviting our customers to join us by rounding up their purchases and donating their change (up to $0.99) to each store’s chosen food bank.
