Stinker Stores has kicked off its 16th annual Stomp Out Hunger campaign to raise funds for The Idaho Foodbank. Customers across Idaho are encouraged to donate at checkout to help provide meals for families facing food insecurity.
Why it matters
The campaign provides a critical funding stream for an organization serving roughly 200,000 residents every month. Matching programs from Stinker Stores and PepsiCo effectively double the impact of individual contributions.
Stinker Stores will match customer donations dollar for dollar up to $25,000, while a $10 donation is estimated to provide up to 20 meals for residents in need. The initiative directly supports an organization that assists an average of 200,000 Idahoans monthly.
The players
Stinker Stores

The details
Shoppers can participate by choosing to round up their purchases or making direct donations at the register. Additionally, PepsiCo has committed to matching the funds raised at the top-performing Stinker Store location.
Timeline
The Stomp Out Hunger fundraising campaign concludes on October 31, 2026.
Market Landscape
This campaign aligns with the Feeding America Map the Meal Gap study by addressing localized food insecurity through direct retail-to-charity partnerships. It reflects a trend of corporate social responsibility where regional chains leverage their high-traffic locations to meet community needs.
Customers can increase the impact of their charitable giving by donating at local stores, where their contributions will be doubled by company matches. These small point-of-sale donations provide immediate access to meals for households throughout the state.
The takeaway
Participating in store-level round-up programs during charity drives is a simple way for shoppers to maximize their charitable impact through corporate matching. Residents can contribute to the campaign at any Stinker Stores location through the end of October.
