☀️ Summer meals are underway in the Magic Valley — and our community is already showing up in a big way.
This week, our South‑Central team joined Chobani to pack food bags for the Chobani Summer Program, filling totes with nutritious items like SuperMilk, quinoa bowls, tuna snacks, oatmeal cups, and more. These bags will go directly to families facing food insecurity this summer. 💛

If your family — or a family you know — needs support, there are free summer meal options available across Idaho:

📍 Jerome (Thu) | 12–1:30 PM
