Tackle Hunger
Albertsons and The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
A fun, high-energy and hands-on way for anyone to make a tangible difference in the fight against hunger. With music booming, lentils flying and a sea of hairnets, we work to create a truly dynamic experience all while packaging healthy meals for the hungry children and families who need it most.
The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (ESPN), Albertsons, and The Idaho Foodbank will partner with the organization Feeding Children Everywhere to create a fun, friendly competition between the two teams of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl , competing to package healthy meals for hungry Idahoans. This high energy, fast paced event will provide between 33,000 to 40,000 meals for Idahoans in need in just one hour. Which teams(s) can package more food?
