KOOTENAI-SHOSHONE COUNTY, IDAHO (RFD News) — April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and in North Idaho, Farm Bureau members are giving back to their communities in a hands-on way. The Kootenai-Shoshone County Farm Bureau teamed up with local nonprofit PB&J Haydeners to distribute potatoes to families in need.
PB&J Haydeners is working to get about 40 boxes of potatoes out to local organizations, helping feed around 200 families. The potatoes are being delivered to places like Head Start programs and the Spirit Lake Community Center, where they can be used for meals and shared with families in the area.
Joe Dobson, president of the Kootenai and Shoshone County Farm Bureau, says the effort is about supporting the broader community.
“We thought we could reach out and assist these food banks, which can help the entire county,” Dobson said. “It is a pleasure to do this.”
Across Idaho, there are 38 county Farm Bureaus, each working in different ways to support their local communities.
