During the winter months, the Salvation Army will try to give out, or refer people, to emergency motel or hotel voucher programs in Idaho. As when the homeless shelters have no space or beds, or are full, local motels may be an options. Learn more on getting and using free hotel vouchers.
Gifts of toys and new clothing can be received from the Angel Tree Program.

Many holiday programs are also focused on seniors and the homebound, and volunteers can deliver meals to nursing homes and other locations.

Food and meals, including holiday, are offered. Struggling families can get help in keeping food on their table year round, including on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
