The Idaho Food Bank Great Idaho Food Drive is underway

On Monday, The Idaho Food Bank’s annual Great Idaho Food Drive started collecting nonperishable food items.

The donations can be dropped off at the CBS 2 News office and Treasure Valley Les Schwab locations.

Donations for this drive will continue being collected until Dec. 9th.

The Idaho Food Bank says 8.7% of Idahoans are food insecure and 10.5% of children are food insecure.

A $1 donation can provide enough food for four meals. This fiscal year, The Idaho Food Bank has received a little over $58 million in donations — last year they received $73.5 million.
