- About 95% of our food comes from our partnership with The Idaho Foodbank. We receive donated food from them for a delivery fee of $60.00 per 1000 pounds of food. This partnership gives us access to the Power of Purchase Program (POPP) which offers food items to us at great discounts. Idaho Foodbank offers us the Food Rescue Program which provides us with the food items from local stores that would otherwise be thrown away.
- The money for food purchases comes from individuals, Churches, local businesses and grants.
- Individuals and groups donate food and or money directly for our benefit.
