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!
Additional Idaho Foodbank Causes
Ada County Crop Hunger Walk
Sponsored by:Crop Hunger Walk
The Ada County CROP Hunger Walk invites you to join our walk to celebrate CROP Hunger Walk’s 50th Anniversary--this is Ada County CROP Hunger Walk’s 38th year! CROP Hunger Walks help hunger efforts locally, nationally and globally.
25% of all funds generated from our walk will be designated to the Idaho Foodbank and remain in Idaho to end hunger here.
Walkers enjoy the 3.4 mile route on the greenbelt as well as downtown Boise. We walk 3.4 miles because that is the distance many people in our world have to walk to access water. A one mile route is available for folks who are unable to do the longer walk.
Please join us October 13th to end hunger one step at a time.
Together, we can help end hunger in our community and around the world!

Student Day of Caring

Incorporated in the first day of school activities, more than 250 students are prepared to volunteer at various LC Valley locations for approximately two hours. Our goal is to provide teams of volunteers with meaningful, hands-on projects. Students should have fun and experience the rewards of volunteering, while learning about the important work of your organization.
By providing students with a first-hand look at the services provided in our community, we can raise awareness about local needs and promote volunteerism for students continue throughout the year – and into the future.
