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!
