Food Drives
Your Food Donations are essential! Every Yellow Food Bin filled with food contributes to the variety and quantity of food we can distribute weekly through our Mobile Food Bank Program.
Our Yellow Food Collection Bins are waiting for your donations! Look for our special collection barrels at stores, businesses, churches and schools across the Wood River Valley. You can ALWAYS find a Yellow Collection Bin at Atkinsons Markets in Ketchum, Hailey and Bellevue and Albertsons in Hailey.
Review what Foods are Most Needed so your gift makes a real difference in the lives of local families and individuals facing hunger.
