Challenge Hunger Campaign Garners $30,000

A special thanks to Bingham Ag Services for sponsoring Challenge Hunger and to the Hall Foundation for matching the amount raised.

The Community Dinner Table partnered with Bingham Ag Services and the Hall Foundation in a fund-raising effort to help feed those in need in our community.  This is our second year participating in the Challenge Hunger Campaign.  We worked with Denise Smith from Bingham Ag to encourage local businesses, banks, clubs and individuals to donate with the added promise that any donations would be matched by the Hall Foundation up to $50,000.  We are not the only group involved in this effort, but we were awarded the largest match this year!  

Thanks to many individuals who donated amounts ranging from $10- $2,500, and groups like the Elks Club who donated $6,500.  We also appreciate local banks like ICCU, Bank of Commerce, Idaho Ag Credit, and DL Evans Banks.  With their help along with Wada Produce and others we were able to raise over $15,000 which was then doubled to over $30,000!

With these generous donations, we continue to help feed those in need in Bingham County.
