The Idaho Community Foundation Awards The Hunger Coalition One of 13 Local Grants to Help Residents Facing Hunger.

With continuing economic uncertainty across the state of Idaho, it is no surprise the number of applications for assistance from the Idaho Community Foundation reached record highs.  From a field of 267 applications throughout the southwestern region, thirteen local non-profit organizations and social service agencies from Blaine County received funding.

The Hunger Coalition is especially thankful to the Idaho Community Foundation for recognizing their level of need and the importance of health and nutrition for local families struggling to make ends meet.  The $2,600 grant to The Hunger Coalition provides welcome support for the food assistance and client empowerment programs integral to their continuing fight against hunger in Blaine County.

Founded in 2003, the Blaine County Hunger Coalition strives to end hunger in our community by providing wholesome food to those in need and by promoting solutions to the underlying causes of hunger through collaboration, education and advocacy.
