The Dump Hunger food drive ends tomorrow, needs your help
The Dump Hunger food drive ends tomorrow, and they still need your help.
"We continue to see an increase in demand for our services, and the Dump Hunger campaign is critical to our post-holiday efforts to meet this demand," said Karen Vauk, President and CEO of The Idaho Foodbank in Boise. "Hunger is a problem that impacts families and seniors in every neighborhood and region, often regardless of employment status. The Idaho Foodbank and our network of partners serve those who need help during challenging financial times until they are able to move forward, and Dump Hunger enables us to better serve those in need after the holidays."
