This time of year is such a joyous affair. It is a time for fellowship and family and presents and joy. But, for some it can be the most difficult time of year. If a family is in need or financial crisis, then the holiday season can be the most stressful time of year. Keeping that in mind, we feel it is very important to always be thinking about how to give back to our fellow Treasure Valley community.
The Fruit Of The Giving Tree
We are proud to announce that we are setting up a “Giving Tree” in our company’s warehouse for the 2nd year in a row. The “Giving Tree” is a special tree that is adorned with many ornaments (tags) upon which is inscribed the various toys/clothes/gift cards that the children would want as gifts for Christmas. Our staff will then take the gift tags off the tree and purchase the items written on the ornaments and place the items back under the tree. Once all of the ornaments have been spoken for, everything is gathered up and returned to the Rescue Mission for them to distribute to the children on a special day in December.
Want To Lend A Helping Hand Or Dollar?
If you want to join in the holiday spirit of helping your fellow family this year through the Boise Rescue Mission Ministries, then here are a few ways you can do just that:
-Purchase items from their Amazon wish list that will be mailed directly to their facilities.
-Purchase items from their Walmart wish list either online or print the list and take it with you on your next shopping trip this holiday season.
-Contribute money directly online using this handy digital donation form.
A Short History Of The BRM
The Rescue Mission was founded all the way back in 1958 by Christ’s Gospel Mission. It was founded in part to help the local people of Boise in their time of need and its mission continues to this day. Some of the original founding board members were: E.S. Gingrich, Walt Wilson, Bob Freeman, Sam Parvin, James Law, Howard Waterman, Leo Hudlet, Aaron Olson, Mike Watson, Frank Ericson, and Chuck Bradshaw.
