If you are looking for a fun way for your family to celebrate the joy of giving this holiday season, please consider adopting a Christmas box for those less fortunate and adding two nonperishable items to it per day from Dec 1st to the 12th – see list of items needed and other particulars.
According to race directors Christian Utley and Randy Shiosaki, while numbers were down this year because the covid pandemic forced us to make this a virtual event, we still had 33 runners register for this fundraiser. We were able to give away some great prizes, net $1700 for the Christmas Food Boxes, and have fun in the process. We would like to thank our running community, our volunteers, and our corporate sponsors for this year’s Tater Trot.
Saturday, October 24, saw the results of the Scouting for Food drive for Bingham County. We live in such a generous community! The food pantry received nearly 22,000 pounds of canned and non-perishable food items.
This year marks the Tenth anniversary of the Tater Trot to raise funds for our yearly Christmas Boxes. Due to covid-19 concerns, this year will be a “Virtual” event, where you run or walk the desired distance on your own and then post your results on-line.
These uncertain times call forth the best in us as a community, and together we have really stepped up to help meet the challenge of feeding the hungry in Bingham County!
