Stomp Out Hunger 2018
Stinker Stores
Since 2010, Stinker Stores help solve hunger in Idaho with annual holiday campaign. Stinker Stores from Moscow to Boise to Idaho Falls will take part in this year’s “Stomp Out Hunger”, an effort to provide as much help to families in need as possible this holiday season.
From November 9th to the 19th Each store in Idaho will be giving customers a chance at the register to add to their purchase with a donation to The Idaho Foodbank. Just $1 can help provide the food for 5 meals for hungry Idahoans. Stores will be competing to raise the most funds, with a celebration of the final gift coming at the end of the month.
This year, Stinker Stores has set a goal of raising $56,000 through store gifts and donations. The company has also pledged to, once again, match $1.00 up to the first $25,000 of those donations. In 2017, customers of Stinker Stores donated more than $56,771 and the company added another $25,000. The result was a record of $81,771.
