Concert Cares
Concert Cares is a partnership on behalf of the Ford Idaho Center and OVG360 to support local causes that impact our community and reinforce our commitment to estabish and maintain strong community partnerships.
A 2024 survey showed 53% of College of Western Idaho (CWI) students have experienced food insecurities.
To address this issue, CWI created five food and hygiene pantries. Through the pantries, students experiencing food insecurity can access food and hygiene supplies they need for themselves or their families.
The Ford Idaho Center is partnering with CWI to drive awareness, for the CWI Food Pantry, collect items, and raise funds to stock the pantry. Donors who participate are eligible for exciting perks at the Ford Idaho Center such as free parking, food or beverage vouchers, concert tickets, and VIP upgrades. One luckey participant will also win a $1000 CWI Score Big Scholoarship!
Your gift will keep the CWI food pantries stocked to support food security and student success on campus.

CWI Garden
Agricultural Science Chair Andrea Schumaker developed a campus garden for horticulture students to get hands-on learning opportunities. Students raise the produce in the garden and then deliver it to the CWI pantries. Over 2,000 pounds of fresh produce was grown for students in 2022.
