BOISE, Idaho — This year KTVB's 7Cares Idaho Shares, Idaho's biggest annual food drive, begins virtually on Monday, Nov. 28 and ends with a live in-person event on Saturday, December 10.
You can donate online or by texting 7Cares to (208) 321-5614.
Every donation provides nutritious food to children, seniors, veterans, and families throughout Idaho, as well as housing and heating assistance.
The donations go directly to nine Idaho nonprofits. See the full list here.
As the temperature drops, the need for food, shelter and aid grows. The goal is to fully stock the shelves and fill the coffers of these nonprofits for winter.
Any donation size is appreciated.

How to be recognized as a Company that Cares
If you want to be publicly recognized on television and KTVB’s digital platforms as a “Company that Cares” please consider making a cash donation of $10,000 or more. If you become a “Company that Cares” then you will be honored on KTVB as an example of corporate caring and neighbor-helping-neighbor.
Each day during the campaign, a Company that Cares will be featured on KTVB’s digital platforms and on television throughout multiple newscasts, as providing 100% matching funds for that day (up to the company’s total contribution).
The “7Cares Fund” is a fund in the Idaho Community Foundation.
