Idaho organizations receive support to help combat pandemic struggles Idaho organizations receive support to help combat pandemic struggles and last updated 2021-05-14 19:38:52-04 MAGIC VALEY â Many communities throughout the nation are still facing hardships because of COVID-19. Some of these hardships either emerged or magnified during the pandemic. The Idaho Foodbank says in years before the pandemic they distributed around 3 million pounds of food statewide through their mobile pantry program. Now that is just enough food to distribute throughout southeast Idaho. PacifiCorp Foundation, a nonprofit arm of Rocky Mountain Power, is giving $35,500 in grants to seven different organizations in the Gem state to help combat these struggles.
