Mission
The Idaho Foodbank Warehouse is dedicated to providing food for Idahoans struggling with hunger through a statewide network of community partners, distributing millions of pounds of perishable and nonperishable food and supporting programs to promote healthy families and communities.
About
Direct and indirect food distribution: The Idaho Foodbank operates warehouse facilities in Boise, Lewiston and Pocatello, distributing donated and purchased food to a statewide network of more than 400 community partners in all 44 Idaho counties. Community partners include schools, churches, pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, senior centers and supplemental food programs. For communities that lack a brick-and-mortar food pantry or special populations that require supplemental food support, The Idaho Foodbank conducts scheduled mobile pantry deliveries of fresh, dry, and frozen food. The Idaho Foodbank distributed nearly 20.3 million pounds of food - providing food for almost 17 million meals - through community partners and its own direct-service programs throughout the state of Idaho. Ninety-one percent of distributed food was donated. When food is purchased, volume buying power maximized the return on donor contributions to such a degree that one dollar can provide food for up to five meals. The Idaho Foodbank, through its Food Rescue program, captured and distributed to those in need more than 7.1 million pounds of surplus food from growers, processors and retail outlets that might otherwise end up in local landfills. Much of the food received is in bulk and must be repackaged for distribution to families. The work is largely done by volunteers. Last fiscal year, 63,000 hours were donated by 26,000 volunteers, the equivalent of 30 full-time employees.
