Wilson Creek Round Up benefiting the Idaho Food Bank

Ready to check out Southwest Idaho’s best kept secret?

We’re having a group ride out at Wilson Creek. We’ll be doing some mapping to set up mountain bike routes, then we’ll be grillin’ and chillin’.

Plan to meet at the Wilson Creek parking area at 11:00, or if you’d rather carpool/caravan, we’ll meet at the Flying M in Nampa at 10:00.

Cost? One (or More)  non-perishable food item that will go to the Idaho Food Bank. Here’s a list of suggested foods that they really need:

Most Needed Items
The USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that adults and children regularly
consume foods that are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals while low in calories, salt, fat and
sugar. For optimal health, everyone should aim for a diet comprised of 50% fruits and
vegetables. Consider making a food donation that resembles USDA’s MyPlate. You can help to
not just feed but nourish Idaho’s hungry!
Fruits and Vegetables
Canned vegetables
Fruits canned in juice or extra light syrup
100% fruit and/or vegetable juices

Whole grain pasta
Regular or instant brown rice
Plain oats/oatmeal
Whole grain cereals with low sugar
Pantry Staples
Canola or other cooking oils
Whole wheat or all-purpose flour
Baking powder and baking soda
Dried herbs and spices
Sugar
Proteins
