your unused bread for dough
Greg and Lydia Deiss and The Hangout are starting something they hope will grow to help food banks. Lydia Deiss said their son was at a restaurant in Boise and saw someone ask that bread be omitted from their order. The thought came that there may be a lot of that kind of thing and maybe it could be used as a benefit. The Deiss’s talked to Debby Schnider at the Hangout and together they came up with the idea of instead of throwing out the bread you don’t want with an order, turn it into a donation to the local food bank. They asked Shane Chapman’s art students at Prairie High School to come up with some posters. Several had some ideas they sketched out but Sapphire Yorke and Dean and Sierra Chapman managed to get their ideas turned into posters. Yorke used Adobe Illustrator to develop her poster while the Chapmans used Adobe PhotoShop. Sierra Chapman is a senior while Yorke is a junior and Dean Chapman is a sophomore. A small version of one of the posters will be put on a gallon jug that will be at the cash register at The Hangout with the posters put up to advertise what is going on. When someone asks to omit bread from their order, Schnider will drop a quarter into the jug so that the customer is basically donating the cost of the bread instead of having it go to waste. The Deiss’s had asked Schnider what food item would work best and Schnider said bread is the most often mentioned item and easiest to do. When asked why she was willing to go along with the this, she said there’s nothing worse than being hungry and the food banks always need help. The hope is the other restaurants in Cottonwood as well as those in Grangeville will join in. The Deiss’s are also looking at expanding this to Lewiston and Boise and other places if it goes over well here. It would be a “grassroots” program, starting in small communities and expanding from there. Anyone seeking additional information on this program can contact Lydia Deiss at 208-553-9782.
