No one wants to live in poverty, but the fact is most of us will experience poverty firsthand during our lives. And we’ll likely seek out public assistance when we do. With your donation, you improve our ability to be there when someone’s fallen on hard times, and to offer them the solutions they need to see them through.

We aim to put donations we receive back into our donors' respective communities. When donating, please designate which county or program should receive your donation. If you don't have a preference, designate your donation to "All Programs and Services."

Our programs and services reached approximately 4,234 households across Southeast Idaho in 2024—making a positive impact on roughly 12,976 Idahoans and an economic impact of $5,028,070.73 in our area. For more information, review our 2024 Impact Report.

That said, every dollar we receive is spent lifting local families out of bad spots and strengthening our communities. If you prefer to support our work by cash or check, please mail your donation to our headquarters:
