About the Organization
The Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force (the Task Force) envisions that in a state as abundant as Idaho, hunger will not exist. We work to put public and private resources into action statewide to eliminate hunger and provide food security for all Idahoans. The Task Force is a small organization, currently managed by a staff of three, with a big reach that includes a membership of 20 organizations who focus on food security and nutrition. Flexibility and adaptability defines our office culture and promotes our ability to move quickly to develop and deploy innovative programs that address hunger and food insecurity.
What you will learn
The internship with the Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force offers an amazing opportunity to explore and better understand food security efforts in Idaho. The Task Force has several key initiatives for 2022, including expanding our Rx for Fresh Fruits & Vegetables program to Idaho’s most vulnerable populations. Through our numerous statewide and national partnerships, you will have access to many nonprofit organizations, faith groups, companies and state agencies that focus their efforts on food and nutrition access.
