Help Idaho Public Television celebrate community, kindness, and learning at Be My Neighbor Day — a free family event inspired by the values and themes of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on PBS KIDS. Join us in creating a fun, engaging day for local families and children ages 3–8.

The event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 1, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. at the Lapwai High School Gymnasium in Lapwai, Idaho.

Idaho Public Television’s Education Team works alongside families, caregivers, educators, and community organizations across the state to support early learning and help prepare children for success in school and in life.

1 in 6 children in Idaho faces hunger.

For too many children, when school is out, meals disappear. Weekends, holidays, and summer break can bring uncertainty about where their next meal will come from, leaving families to wonder how they’ll put food on the table.

This July 4, in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, the Albertsons Companies Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors program is launching Nourish the American Dream – a bold, nationwide, multi-year movement to help end childhood hunger once and for all.

The Idaho Foodbank is proud to join organizations across the country in this collective effort to help nourish every child’s potential.

From July 1–7, The Idaho Foodbank is raising critical funds to support our mission and contribute to Nourish the American Dream’s goal of helping more children access the nutritious food they need to grow, learn, and thrive.

During this campaign, the Albertsons Companies Foundation will match every donation up to $5,000, doubling your impact.

You can support this effort by making a donation to The Idaho Foodbank between July 1–7. You can also round up at the register at your local Albertsons store, and those donations will stay right here in Idaho to help feed Idaho children and families.

Join us in helping nourish the American Dream.
