🍂 It’s the First Day of Fall! 🍂

A HUGE thank you to our AMAZING partner, First Interstate Bank, for their recent $2,500 contribution supporting our affordable housing programs!

Today is First Interstate’s annual Volunteer Day, a companywide initiative encouraging employees to serve their communities. NeighborWorks® Boise is grateful to have benefited from their service over the years, from refreshing community rooms and staining gathering shelters at our affordable apartment communities to raking leaves through Rake Up Boise™ and painting the recycling enclosure at our Cole Bluff Cottages Pocket Neighborhood™.

Thank you, First Interstate Bank, for investing your time, talent and resources to strengthen our local communities. We appreciate all you do and wish your team a wonderful Volunteer Day!

For some of our neighbors, keeping up with yard work can be a challenge. 🍂

Our annual Rake Up™ Boise community event, happening the week of November 14, helps eligible Ada County residents who are 65+, veterans, or living with a disability with seasonal yard clean up.
