Residents of Jefferson County, Idaho are going to have access to critically important fresh fruits and vegetables thanks to a $5,000 grant that is being given to The Giving Cupboard, a choice food pantry that supplies food assistance to families in need in Jefferson County. The funds, which are being awarded by the Idaho Community Foundation will go towards the purchase of food coolers for The Giving Cupboards choice food pantry.
