Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity that inspires people everywhere to do good, and at The Idaho Foodbank it’s a powerful opportunity to help ensure our neighbors across Idaho have access to the nutritious food they need, especially during the busy holiday season. This year, every dollar donated on Giving Tuesday will be matched up to $20,000, thanks to the generosity of The Chalfant Family and friends of the Foodbank, doubling your impact for children, families, and seniors facing hunger in communities large and small. By joining the movement, you’re helping to spread generosity, support stability for Idahoans, and make a meaningful difference across our state.

Join us for a unique day full of entertainment on Thursday, September 10th by tuning in to the Back to School Virtual Telethon with The Idaho Foodbank. The day includes eight hours of entertainment from 9AM to 5PM MDT, provided by people appearing virtually, from wherever they happen to be. In between entertainers of all kinds, we will provide information about our Backpack and School Pantry programs, including how viewers can help us feed Idaho children. Talent ranges from local, familiar faces such as longtime radio personality Kate McGwire and blues musician Dave Wilson, to cooking humorist Pat Mac. A variety of national talents will also be appearing as surprise guests.
Contributions made during the telethon will have double the impact thanks to a generous offer from Optum Idaho to match all gifts up to $10,000 dollars. The entire event will be streamed live to the internet via Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms.
