The Boise Rescue Mission Needs Our Help! See What You Can Do...

The Boise Rescue Mission is a vital resource for struggling families. They provide things like food, clothing, emergency shelter/rooms, children's programs, addiction programs and veteran programs. Normally at this time of the year(tax season) they would see a spike in donations. It makes sense, since people like to deduct their charitable giving. But sometimes, the law of unintended consequences happens. With the tax law changes signed into law last year by President Trump, the family deduction almost doubled, so fewer people are itemizing and therefor may be giving less to charity.

So Rev. Bill Roscoe, the President and CEO of the mission, is asking for our help. If you have a few dollars to spare or can donate other items, please check out the Boise Rescue Mission site.

Roscoe told KTVB's Shirah Matsuzawa, "in his 22 years with the organization he has never seen this happen before - and that the last quarter of the year is generally the most profitable".

They site does allow you to do a one time donation, monthly or even help provide meals to those in need. Think about how cold it is right now and the possibility, they may have to turn people away. So if you can spare a few bucks, please help out!

Here is a list of other needs the mission has:
