(Idaho State) The Idaho Food Bank Fund announces the recipients of the 2024 grants targeted to support nonprofits that provide hunger relief, nutrition education, and promote healthy eating. Thanks to the generosity of Idaho taxpayers, who chose to donate to the Idaho Food Bank Fund, 72 organizations across the state received grants to further their work to solve hunger in Idaho. The grants, totaling $178,718, are allocated to help recipients operate programs, purchase food, expand capacity (new freezers, shelving, transportation, etc.), and to promote or provide nutrition education for underserved and marginalized Idahoans.
Sixteen organizations in North and North Central Idaho received grants this year. Please see below for the complete list of North and North Central Idaho grant recipients. We encourage you to contact these organizations to get further information on their grant projects and how they serve the community.
Passed by the Idaho State Legislature in 2009, the Idaho Food Bank Fund provides financial support to Idaho nonprofits who offer food insecurity relief. The Idaho Foodbank serves as the official fiduciary agent and partners with Catholic Charities of Idaho to administer the awards annually.
“Idaho taxpayers can be proud that via the Idaho Food Bank Fund we are collaboratively working towards relieving food insecurity in communities around the state,” said Randy Ford, President and CEO of The Idaho Foodbank. “The Fund is a valuable tool to support local organizations that are working every day to help Idahoans in need.”
