Eligibility: Any child, Ages 6 through 16.
Services Provided: For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 6 through 18, in communities across the country. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.

Bigs and Littles do simple things together - playing sports, seeing movies, cooking, going over schoolwork, visiting museums, washing the car, taking walks, volunteering in their communities, or just hanging out together. It's the friendship that develops while doing these everyday activities that makes the difference.

Big Brothers Big Sisters works closely with parents and guardians to match every child with the right Big. Every volunteer is screened, trained, and supervised, and professionals in youth development support each match to help ensure that the relationship will be safe and rewarding for everyone involved.

Services Provided: The Women of Color Alliance honors cultural diversity through mutual support, leadership development and empowerment. It is our mission to work toward a fair social, political, and economic system to improve the quality of life for all Women of Color.
The vision of the Women of Color Alliance (WOCA) grew out of conversations dating back to 1998 among Latina, Native American, African American, and Asian women. At first, the focus was simply to find ways of supporting each other in a conservative state. Public policy makers in Idaho have a reputation for discounting the importance of people of color, particularly women of color.
Becoming a partner with WOCA means you wish to future the cause for women just like you. You will meet amazing women and men who have already begun and are willing to support those others who look and sound like you.
Anyone is welcome to come to our office to share, be supported, volunteer, or get involved in any other way of your choice to give back to those others who look and sound like you.

Services Provided: Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:

Education – Children enter school ready and are successful in primary school; youth gain the knowledge, skills, and credentials to obtain family-sustaining employment

Financial Stability – Individuals and families improve their socio-economic status

Health – Individuals and families have access to healthcare and improve their health

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.

United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.

Eligibility: Verification of need and situation is clarified; must be willing to work with our application and verification process
Services Provided: Love INC mobilizes local churches to transform lives and communities in the name of Christ. This is achieved through acts of service, donated product and relational programs that make a defining difference in the lives of those in need. Love INC does not provide financial assistance, but offers free community courses and a long-term program to help people get out of debt and stabilize their life situation. Classes may include money management, job skills, parenting, life skills, shopping, cooking and nutrition. Love INC believes in investing relationally with people to move them from perpetual or situational need to a sustainable, stable lifestyle. Clients needing assistance should call the Clearinghouse where requests are clarified and verified for legitimacy before resources are offered. Love INC gives referrals to other agencies and involves volunteers from over 50 partner churches in resourcing the needs within the ministry’s available outreaches. Volunteers from Love INC partner churches provide a wide variety of services using their talents to help those less fortunate who may otherwise fall through the cracks. Donated products (such as clothing, coats and household supplies) are available through the Clearinghouse voucher system. Love INC focuses its efforts on the New Hope Relational Program: a long-term, highly-accountable program designed to coach people out of financial problems and into a debt-free way of living. Adults in the home are required to attend weekly group classes and meet with a personal Budget Mentor. The New Hope Relational Program is Christian and Christian principles are taught throughout. Prayer is an integral part of each class and meeting. The Transformational Programs are not income-based and clients can be of any faith to participate. Programs are available to those who wish to build a disciplined plan for their life and get out of and stay out of debt.

Services Provided: Love INC was founded in 1977 as a way to encourage churches to become more engaged with the poor and to inspire a greater number of Christians to put their faith in action. As the Love INC ministry grew, so did the need for national leadership and support. In 1988, Love INC became an operating department of World Vision U.S., an international Christian relief and development organization, where it remained for the next 15 years. Under World Vision, Love INC continued to grow throughout the 1990s, and in 2003 Love INC separated from World Vision and again became its own national nonprofit organization, headquartered in Minneapolis. In 2011 Love INC has over 150 affiliates in 30 states, representing a network of more than 9,000 churches, 7,000 community agencies, and nearly 300,000 volunteers meeting more than 1 million needs each year.
