4000 pounds.
FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS of food and needed essentials were donated to the Idaho Foodbank today. 2 tons.

Two weeks ago I heard about the desperate state of the Idaho Foodbank. I had this simple idea that maybe it made sense to do a no contact “Front Porch Food Drive. I made a goal to fill my car up with donations.
I reached out to other influencers who I knew loved this community and asked for their help. 
Monday we sent out the message to the community to sign up for a pick up. This morning we sent out over a dozen drivers.

We packed every car to the brim, and some had to deliver to the food bank twice. You can see a lot of the behind the scenes and the fun we had today in our stories. 
You guys are amazing. We were all so blown away by your generous donations. We had no idea how selfless you would all be.

A huge shout out to those who helped me today. And to those who put the word out. I’ve listed a few of them below.
I am so proud of our community today. This is what the “Community Over Corona Challenge” is all about.
THANK YOU.
Much love. ❤️ Natalie
