Statewide Food Distribution Network
Direct & Indirect Food Distribution: The Idaho Foodbank operates warehouse facilities in Meridian, Lewiston, and Pocatello, distributing donated and purchased food to a statewide network of over 400 Partner Agencies in all 44 Idaho counties. Partner Agencies include schools, churches, pantries, soup kitchens, 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 over 25.3 million pounds of food - providing food for up to 21 million meals - through partner agencies and its own direct-service programs throughout the state of Idaho. 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 three meals. The Idaho Foodbank, through its Food Rescue program, captured and distributed to those in need over 8.7 million pounds of surplus food from growers, processors, and distribution to families. The work is largely done by volunteers. During the fiscal year 71,377 hours were donated by 25,226 volunteers, the equivalent of 34 full-time employees.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesMay 1, 2024 – Apr 30, 2025Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$48.1MThe Idaho Foodbank Programs
Programs & Partnerships: The Idaho Foodbank develops, implements, and administers a wide array of direct-service programs that benefit the health and well-being of especially vulnerable populations such as families, children, and seniors. The programs operated by the Organization during the fiscal year include Backpack, School Pantry, Cooking Matters, Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), and The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). The Idaho Foodbank also collaborates with health care professionals to ensure that these programs promote healthier families and more stable communities. During the most recent school year, The Idaho Foodbanks' Backpack program distributed a total of 68,544 backpacks during the fiscal year. Statewide, on average, 2,080 children received a backpack on the last school day of the week throughout the school year. In the same period, 400,936 pounds of food (or the equivalent of 334,113 meals) was distributed to 15,143 households through the School Pantry program. School-based programs directed at children and families provide an impact on the educational performance of children. Moreover, school staff report that the Backpack program has improved relationships and communications with families.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesMay 1, 2024 – Apr 30, 2025Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.1M
