Stones Auto Group Collects Food for Idaho Banks
Stones Auto Group dealerships across Southeast Idaho are accepting nonperishable food donations throughout November.
Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Philanthropy
Stones Auto Group dealerships are collecting nonperishable food donations, including canned goods, pasta, rice, and other pantry staples, throughout November. All donations will be delivered to local food banks at the end of the month.
Why it matters
The drive supports local food banks during the colder months, when demand for food assistance can rise across Idaho. Participating dealerships in Idaho and Jackson give residents a convenient way to contribute while getting their vehicles serviced.
Donors bringing five or more cans receive a $15 coupon toward an oil change. The company did not report a total collection goal or the volume of donations collected in prior years.
