 A Time for Growth.

With new programs, a new food bank distributions and new Board members, things feel very exciting and full of potential here at The Hunger Coalition.  

We invite you to learn more about what we have planned in the spring and summer months ahead.  There is more to The Hunger Coalition than food, and we hope you will take a moment to see what's happening and how your support provides hope and guidance to local families working to get back on their feet.

  • May E Newsletter  ~  You can give a gift in honor of Mother's Day, meet our newest Board members, and smile when you read another Success Story.  Click here to stay connected with us every month!

  • Grow Your Own  ~  We are offering a unique opportunity to qualified community members - a small private garden plot at The Hope Garden!  This special garden mentoring program builds confidence, increases self sufficiency, and imparts valuable gardening knowledge for those interested in growing their own nutritious fresh produce.

Hunger in Our Community, and our Nation

When we learn that over 16 million children struggle with hunger in the US, it makes us stop and think.  In an effort to better educate our community on what's happening in Blaine County, through the state of Idaho, and across the nation, we offer links to interesting news stories, YouTube videos and organizations committed to helping our neighbors in need.

  • Childhood Hunger Statistics:  Read for yourself what the reality is for millions of children and their families, across the US.
  • Cooking Matters Videos:  Watch how basic cooking skills, combined with nutritional knowledge can improve the health and confidence of families struggling to make ends meet.
  • 2011 Food Hardship Report:  Published by the Food Research and Action Center, this report documents food insecurity across the US.
