The Idaho HIspanic Foundation helps:
80 Kids/month and 170 families/month

In Idaho, 41% of households—including half of all Hispanic households—live below the ALICE Threshold, facing impossible daily decisions no one should have to make: food or medicine, rent or transportation.

 

The Idaho Hispanic Foundation’s Family and Community Resource Center (FCRC) was created to fill that gap, offering free, culturally responsive support that honors the dignity and strength of Idaho’s community.

Faithful Gifts - Dec. 6th

Faithful Gifts – Bringing Joy When It’s Needed Most 
 
This year has been heavy for so many families. We know the struggle, we see the burden, and our heart is simply to lift it—even if just a little. 
 
Faithful Gifts is working to bless children in our community with a small gift, along with a magical visit and picture with Santa.
 
For some kiddos, this may be the only gift they receive this season, and we want to make sure they feel seen, loved, and celebrated.
 
To make this possible, we need sponsors.
 
 
If you’d like to sponsor a child or donate toward gifts, please reach out to elia@idahohispanicfoundation.org or 208-586-0586. Together, we can make Christmas a little brighter. ✨❤️
 
Thank you for giving hope, love, and joy this season.
