This is a 5-county food and fund drive, running the entire month of November.

You can help fight hunger in our community. All you need to do is place nonperishable food items in a grocery bag or box for the local Boy Scouts to collect. No glass containers. Please leave your food on your doorstep. All donations will be distributed to our local food banks to help families in need.

Plan to join The Idaho Foodbank at Lindsay Creek Vineyards Thursday, October 24, 2019 for "Corks for a Cause". Enjoy a relaxing, fun evening all while helping raise funds to assist individuals and families in our region who are suffering from food insecurity. 10% of all beer, wine and food sales will be donated to The Idaho Foodbank.

The University of Idaho and Idaho State University football teams will battle it out Saturday, Oct. 19 in the U of I Kibby Dome for the U of I Homecoming game. In addition to the game, each University will scuffle to see which can bring in the most food and funds to benefit the North Central Branch of The Idaho Foodbank. The food and fund drive is organized by The U of I Alumni Association and will take place the entire week of homecoming. Collection bins will be located in several areas on the U of I campus. A change drive will also be part of the festivities.

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!
