The Boise VA Food Pantry is at risk of closing down! We need donations of food (see list below)!

We would like to remind our veterans and community that our food pantry is not supported financially by the government. It is entirely supported through donations and volunteers. Some veterans have taken advantage of the food pantry program believing if it is free, they should get it. We ask that only those who truly need the assistance collect food from the food pantry. There are many unfortunate veterans we serve who rely on the help.

If you are able to help we could use non-perishable food that is not expired. Please see examples below. Please bring donations to Bldg. 85A at the Boise VA campus. You can also call for more questions at 208-422-1175.

Farewell, comrade.
