Million Meals in March 2019
Sponsored by:The Idaho Foodbank
The Idaho Foodbank is celebrating National Nutrition Month with a special campaign, Million Meals in March, to raise awareness and funds after the holiday season.
The “Million Meals in March” campaign, is a statewide effort with a goal of collecting the food and funds for 1,000,000 meals in the month. The Foodbank distributes food for more than 1,000,000 meals every month, yet the spring is typically a time when food and fund donations drop off. This hinders the Foodbank’s efforts to reach the 1 in 7 Idahoans in need.
Presenting sponsor Southern Idaho Honda Dealers is helping the Idaho Foodbank reach this goal by offering a $20,000 match. Every dollar donated to The Idaho Foodbank can provide five meals, when doubled with individual donations these funds will provide food for 200,000 meals.
Campaign sponsor Idaho Central Credit Union is providing $5,000 match for the Eastern Idaho Radio phone-a-thon March 29.
