A Insight Into What We do
Are you interesting in becoming a regular volunteer with us? Check out this video made by one of our volunteers, providing some background into what we do each day to prepare for our bi-weekly food distributions.
Interested in Volunteering with your family, friends or co-workers?
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate volunteer days or groups who wish to volunteer just once. We do hope to be able to provide that service once we have our new, permanent space!
In the mean time, we recommend reaching out to the Idaho Foodbank > https://idahofoodbank.org/get-involved/give-time/ or check out the opportunities on JustServe.org.
