Homeless in Boise

Every day most of us take the needs on this list for granted. Today we have the opportunity to give back to those homeless in Boise. 

Each day the Boise Rescue Mission provides shelter for an average of 400 people and they hand out about 1,100 meals per day.

Every single person who is homeless has a story. Today during "Hope for the Holidays" we met Andrew who was homeless many times as a child and then he ended up homeless again after serving our country for 6 years. Today, thanks to a little generosity, he is a software engineer and he's the one giving back.

Then we met Kat. You can read her story HERE. She's homeless, and has been living in her car with her husband and two dogs. Through a little help, she walked out of here with a potential job offer that could give her a fresh start.

It's estimated that currently there are around 2,000 homeless people here in the Treasure Valley.

Let today be the day that you do some good.

You can drop off items until 6pm today at the following Fred Meyer locations

• Federal Way -Boise
• Chinden & Glenwood
• Chinden & Linder
• Caldwell Blvd-Nampa

We're collecting almost anything from first aid, to clothing, hygiene items, and food. Plus, you can purchase the items right here at Fred Meyer because they are having some awesome sales!

Make the commitment right now to donate right now and give a little Hope to the Homeless in Boise this Christmas season.
