Additional Idaho Foodbank Causes
Community BBQ
State Farm
Kendra Rone, State Farm is organizing an online community fundraising event (in accordance with CDC guidelines and policies) to support the Idaho Foodbank in your effort to aid the public against the ongoing pandemic. We have partnered with Black Hawk BBQ Pit, local first responders (including Pocatello/Chubbuck Police and Fire departments, along with the Army National Guard) and local banks including Mountain America CU, Citizens Community Bank, ISUCU, ICCU, and Connections CU.
The event will encourage the Pocatello/Chubbuck community members to “socially engage” from a distance by ordering delicious food prepared and provided by Black Hawk BBQ Pit which will be delivered by our first responders and service member volunteers. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Idaho Foodbank for Coronavirus relief. As this is a time-sensitive situation, the three-day event will run from March 26th to the 28th with Thursday’s event dedicated to local businesses, and the two remaining for the general public.
We are looking for additional secondary sponsors to help us. Sponsor contributions include time, volunteers, or monetary donations. Your support will help us ease community tension and give everyone an opportunity to come together in new, mutually beneficial ways.
