Additional Idaho Foodbank Causes
Million Meals in March 2019
The Idaho Foodbank
The Idaho Foodbank is celebrating National Nutrition Month with a special campaign – Million Meals in March, to raise awareness and funds after the holiday season.
The “Million Meals in March” campaign, is a statewide effort with a goal of collecting the food and funds for 1,000,000 meals in the month. The Foodbank distributes food for more than 1,000,000 meals every month, yet the spring is typically a time when food and fund donations drop off. This hinders the Foodbank’s efforts to reach the 1 in 8 Idahoans in need.
Presenting sponsor Southern Idaho Honda Dealers is helping the Idaho Foodbank reach this goal by offering a $20,000 match. Every dollar donated to The Idaho Foodbank can provide five meals, when doubled with individual donations these funds will provide food for 200,000 meals.
Boise Co-op downtown's First Friday March 1, is donating 3% of sales to The Idaho Foodbank's Million Meals in March campaign.
