The holidays are a meant to be a time of togetherness and joy but for those facing hunger feelings of fear, desperation and sadness often prevail. The Idaho Foodbank’s goal is to provide “Hope for the Holidays” to thousands of Idahoans who are struggling to put food on the table by distributing the food for 2.7 million meals now through December. To make this goal a reality we need your help.
Right now, for each dollar donated you can help the Foodbank provide 5 meals 10 meals. Make your gift by the end of the year and our generous sponsors Corwin Ford and Camille Beckman will match it dollar for dollar, doubling your impact.
$25 donation can become food for 250 meals.

MOO Bucks
Sponsored by:Albertsons
People can donate “Moo Bucks” at Albertsons checkouts June 1-15. While it’s easy for people to donate canned and dry goods, fresh milk is much harder to donate because it’s perishable. Thus, even though food pantries report milk is one of the most requested items, it’s difficult for them to meet the demand. A donation to Moo Bucks help The Idaho Foodbank purchase and distribute dairy foods to clients and give them vouchers to redeem for milk.

The goal is to fill the City of Trees Real Estate moving truck as many times as possible over a two-day event, but also throughout the entire month of June.
