Agency Zone has been created to assist you in the fight against hunger in Idaho. Agency Zone is a tool developed for you as a one-stop resource center.
We rely on you, our Partner Agencies, a network of more than 200 food pantries, senior centers, emergency shelters, community kitchens, and other feeding programs. Without the support of our Partner Agencies across the state, The Idaho Foodbank would not be able to Feed, Educate, and Advocate for individuals and families in need.

When uncertain conditions like the government shutdown create doubt, insecurity and hardship for so many, it’s more important than ever that we remind all Idahoans that we’re here to provide good food to anyone and everyone who needs a hand up. Absolutely no one should go hungry because of the shutdown.
The Idaho Foodbank is grateful for the generous partners who have donated food for this increased effort, those companies and organizations include Potandon Produce, Feeding the Northwest Collaborative, Eagle Eye, JC Watson and Lamb Weston. It is primarily on account of these food donations that The Idaho Foodbank is able to quickly increase food distribution and help hungry Idahoans.
Thank you for your partnership and your continued commitment to serving Idahoans in need.
