Solid State began its journey to give back to the community it does business in and the staff in Boise committed to 3 days of volunteering at the Idaho Food Bank in August of 2021– we were thrilled to see more than half of the staff participate! We made a huge impact during those three days and the Food Bank is definitely looking forward to having us back. Thursday’s team filled almost 400 boxes food, Friday’s team came very close to that and Saturday, SSO helped serve a drive through emergency food distribution. Way to go SSO!
Here is what the Idaho Food Bank has to say about themselves:
The Idaho Foodbank was established in 1984 and since that time has distributed millions of pounds of food through its facilities in Lewiston, Meridian and Pocatello. In fiscal year 2020, The Foodbank provided food for more than 18.6 million meals to Idahoans living with food insecurity. The Foodbank distributes food through a network of more than 400 partners including schools, food pantries, senior centers, feeding sites, shelters, mobile pantries and churches. Recognizing the crucial connection between hunger and health, The Idaho Foodbank focuses on providing nutritious food and collaborates with community organizations to promote nutrition education, wellness tools and healthy living. The Foodbank also operates direct-service programs that promote healthy families and communities through good nutrition.
