As we gear up for the fall season, many people start thinking about holidays and all the family meals they will be enjoying. While the season comes with joy and happiness, it can also be a time of food insecurity for many families. National Food Bank Day is September 1st this year and, to celebrate, we are sharing resources to help you get involved.
Donate Non-Perishable Goodies
Swing by your local food bank or drop-off locations and contribute non-perishable items like canned vegetables, pasta, rice, canned fruits, and more. The
Idaho Food Bank distributes goods to food pantries statewide and provides a free tool to help find the location closest to you.
Host a Food Drive
Rally your friends, family, or colleagues to organize a food drive! It's an excellent way to foster teamwork and bring the community together for a common cause.
Volunteer Your Time
Many food banks are in need of volunteers to sort and distribute donations. Learn more about volunteering for the Idaho Food Bank on their website.
With thoughts of the season of giving to come, let’s kick things off by giving the gift of food security!
