Connect with Community
Food for Latah Fundraiser
The mission of the Connect with Community subcommittee of the Latah County Democrats has always been both showing up and stepping up across Latah County.
Although the Covid emergency has ended, the needs of the Latah County food banks continue. Much of the emergency aid is no longer available and inflation has severely constricted people’s food budgets. Demands on food banks have risen 30 to 50 percent recently, and local groups predict that increased food relief will be an ongoing need for the foreseeable future.
For this reason, the Latah Democrats Connect with Community group is continuing its fundraiser to address food insecurity throughout the county.
Direct monetary donation is an especially effective way to assist because it enables food banks to spend on most-needed items, potentially at local stores.
There are three options for donating:
1. Mail a check to the Latah County Democrats at PO Box 9772, Moscow, ID 83843, with “Food for Latah” noted in the memo line.
2. Click on the ActBlue option above. All funds raised will be used to address food insecurity. PLEASE NOTE that donations to the Food for Latah fundraiser are not tax deductible.
3. Drop off products at Safari Pearl (660 W Pullman Rd, Moscow). Look for specials on canned foods, easy-to-fix meals, etc. and purchase a few extras. Personal hygiene items for women, diapers, cleaning supplies and pet food are also very much appreciated. Volunteers will take the donations out to the Latah County food banks.
