The Idaho Foodbank is the state's largest distributor of free emergency food, partnering with a growing network of more than 225 non-profit agencies, including churches, emergency kitchens, shelters, senior centers and food pantries.   Warehouses located in Pocatello, Lewiston and Boise provide regional hubs for efficiently receiving, sorting and distributing more than 8 million pounds of food annually.   The Idaho Foodbank is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and part of a national food banking network called Feeding America.  The Idaho Foodbank does not charge for food or rely on government subsidies.     Every month over 110,000 children, families and senior citizens are served through The Idaho Foodbank network.  Although the USDA guidelines recommend 6 ounces of protein per person per day for a healthy diet, The Idaho Foodbank struggles to provide a consistent supply of protein for all of the people they serve.   The Idaho Foodbank also operates monthly Mobile Pantry distributions to rural areas throughout Idaho.  These communities are most impacted by poverty and lack access to emergency food.  The Idaho Foodbank is able to distribute an average of just five pounds of meat per month per family.  For the average family of four, that means each person receives only about 0.7 ounces of meat per date.  The current supply of beef protein does not "meat" the need for a healthy diet.
