Additional Idaho Foodbank Causes
Holiday Food Fight
Pocatello Branch of the Idaho Foodbank
Since we are in need of some very specific food items for our Bannock County Thanksgiving food box distribution, we have tried to come up with a creative way to help gather these foods. We are reaching out to local businesses to see if they would be interested in participating in a “Holiday Food Fight”. This event is designed to collect all of the dry goods needed to fill 1000 Thanksgiving food boxes that will be distributed to Bannock County residence in need. We will be working with multiple businesses throughout the community asking them to participate in our challenge by contributing 1000 cans of a specifically chosen food item. This will be a contest where each business will gain points for each item collected and bonus points for additional collected funds and turkeys. There will also be bonus points for whoever completes their challenge first. The winning business will be provided with lunch sponsored by the Pizza Pie Café as well as additional fun snacks delivered to your office, and of course, a trophy.
