THE BEEF COMMUNITY UNITED AGAINST HUNGER   

When the beef communities in Idaho and Washington learned of the severe shortage of high-quality protein donations at the local food banks, they took action by creating the Beef Counts Program. 

Since 2010, through community donations, Beef Counts has provided over 6.5 million servings of zinc, iron and protein-rich beef to those in our communities that need it most. 

Protein is critical to a healthy and well-balanced diet, especially for the development and strength of children and seniors.  

Many beef community members are fortunate, having beef on their tables year-round, and wanted to be able to share this gift with those who may otherwise go without. 

Despite our efforts, 1 in 9 people in Idaho and 1 in 8 people in Washington still struggle with hunger. 

Consider joining Idaho's and Washington's beef ranchers and farmers in the effort to eliminate hunger in our Northwest communities.
