Council's Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry has served Adams County for over a decade, on a rural rhythm worth knowing: a third-Thursday afternoon distribution most of the year, a summer schedule with midday hours June through August, and community dinners two evenings a week per regional referral listings.
The Pantry's Schedule
State and regional listings put Loaves and Fishes' main distribution on the third Thursday of each month, 3–4:30 p.m., with a summer schedule (roughly 11 a.m.–1 p.m., June–August) — addresses appear as both 307 Illinois Ave and 102 S Exeter St across directories, so call ahead to (208) 253-6000 to confirm this month's location and time. Emergency requests are handled on call per the Adams County referral listing.
Meals and the Statewide Bank
The Adams–Valley County community referral listing also notes community dinners Tuesday and Thursday evenings (5:15–6:30 p.m.) connected to Loaves & Fishes. The Idaho Foodbank — which has profiled the Council pantry — supplies partner pantries statewide, and Idaho 211 plus the state Health & Welfare food-site directory cover everything between Council and Weiser.
