Food Bank Running Low

The Caribou County Food bank is looking a little bare and with no Scouting for Food Drive taking place there is no scheduled event to create abundance.  The Caribou County Food Bank depends solely on the generosity of the residents of Caribou County. It seems like late summer is always a time when the Food Bank finds its supplies running low. The bright spot of that situation is that the case lot sales at our local grocery stores will be coming the end of September! If you are in a position to donate food, household products or cleaning items, it would be most appreciated.  

The Food Bank is in need of just about everything. This includes, but is not limited to:

- canned fruit (all kinds)

- soups

- canned vegetables

- canned meats and tuna

- canned chili, stew

- boxed macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper type meals

- snacks, cookies, cake mixes

- flour and sugar

- packaged seasoning and gravy mixes

- condiments

- cereal, hot and cold

- canned pasta (like spaghetti-o’s)

- meat (frozen ground beef, chicken, hot dogs, etc.)

- canned milk

- dried beans, rice, pasta

- peanut butter

- shampoo and conditioner, 

- toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, soap

- cleaning products, bleach, laun- dry detergent, dishwashing soap

- paper towels, toilet paper

- feminine hygiene products

Perishable items like fresh fruits and vegetables, surplus from your garden, milk, cheese, bread, butter, eggs, meat, yogurt, etc. are always appreciated.  Please be sure to make us aware of them so we can store things properly. 

Donations may be dropped off at the SEICAA office, located in the parking lot just north of the Soda Springs Police offices and Sims Funeral Home.  Items should be delivered during office hours--9 A.M.- 4 P.M.,  Mondays and Wednesdays to ensure they are properly handled and received.  If you are struggling to keep yourself and/or family fed, please come check out the Caribou County Food Bank. 

Anyone with questions may call Tracy at 208- 540-2878.  Monetary donations are also welcome and may be given to any member of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, which provides volunteers to man the local Food Bank, under the direction and guidelines of the Southeast Idaho Community Action Agency.

 The local grocery stores, many businesses and good people of Caribou County are always thoughtful and generous in their donations and we are so thankful for all of those who keep the Caribou County food bank in their hearts and actions, and especially during the time of Covid!  The Food Bank volunteers and its many patrons are extremely grateful for this ongoing support.
