The Idaho Food Bank Fund

The Idaho Food Bank Fund was established by the 2009 Idaho Legislature as a cooperative effort between three large, well-respected statewide Idaho non-profit organizations: Community Action Partnerships of Idaho (CAPAI), Catholic Charities of Idaho and The Idaho Foodbank. The Idaho Food Bank Fund is an independent “tax check off” fund that will provide a much needed resource for smaller non-profits to expand their abilities in hunger relief.

This fund is the result of the passage of House Bill 57-824 IDAHO FOOD BANK FUND.
This legislature reads:

SECTION 3. That Chapter 8, Title 57, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby amended
by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and designated as Section 57824,
Idaho Code, and to read as follows:

57-824.
IDAHO FOOD BANK FUND. There is hereby created in the state treasury, the
Idaho food bank fund. Moneys in the fund shall be appropriated to the Idaho food bank to
provide food, information and support services to hungry people throughout this state through
partnerships with nonprofit agencies, the food industry, government, volunteers, corporations
and individuals by serving as a central clearinghouse for donated and purchased food.
