celebrating community. creating change
At the Meat & Tater BBQ Fest, we’re firing up more than just grills—we’re igniting real change in our community. This festival isn’t just about great food and fun. It’s a powerful fundraiser supporting Envision, Lions International, and our dedicated Idaho Lions Clubs throughout the Valley.
Who You’re Helping
Proceeds from the festival benefit Envision, an Idaho-based nonprofit transforming lives through sight and hearing services:
- Restoring Vision – Nearly 300 corneal transplants performed annually through Idaho’s only eye bank.
- Providing Care – Eye exams, glasses, and hearing aids for those without access or insurance.
- Recycling for Good – Repurposing donated glasses and hearing aids for underserved communities, locally and abroad.
