Office Volunteers . . .
Help
answer phones, file, and perform other routine administrative tasks.
Must be available to give us a morning or afternoon on a regular basis.
The Idaho Foodbank Warehouse . . .
Typical volunteer activities include
sorting and re-boxing donated food. We literally could not
adequately supply area front-line agencies with food if it were not
for the dedication of thousands of volunteers.
Chefs to the Rescue . . .
Help us re-direct thousands of pounds of
perfectly good, but over-prepared, food from local restaurants,
stores, and caterers to feeding sites in the Boise area.
Grow
A Row . . .
When you plant your garden in the
spring, think of what one extra plant could mean for a hungry
family. The produce you give The Idaho Foodbank will help many
families and individuals in need of healthy, wholesome food.
Kids
Cafe . . .
Across the nation, more than 300 Kids
Cafes operate in 29 states and offer meals and educational
activities. Kids Cafe programs operate in secure locations where
kids naturally congregate, such as community centers, schools or
Boys and Girls Clubs.
