Destitute Duffel

We’re celebrating 10 years this weekend of supporting people who need shelter. Thank you to all of our supporters - we’re here because of you. If you’d like to celebrate with us on Saturday, please DM us for details.

We just teamed up with a Boise 360 Video Production outfit to shoot a short commercial promoting and touting Boise for the holidays. Keep checking back. It is in production now.

They also collected items to give to the Banadi Family that they might need when moving into a new house. Items include towels, welcome home mat, spices, wooden spoons and personalized notes.

St Joe's kindergarten class was recognized at the newest Habitat for Humanity house dedication today. Together they raised enough money to donate the front door.

We love St Joes! Cheers to the Kindergarten class for their support in helping us raise funds for Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity. Their hard work will help our team provide a front door to a family.

As we close out 2015, we look forward to 2016, where we will be connecting more with our fabulous supporters: you! Thank you for your patience as we recalibrate and focus our efforts. We look forward to a bright future with you on our side.
