Over the last year, the City of Boise closed down the homeless encampment under the Connector (and next to the Interfaith Sanctuary). Now, some are returning to the area.
Imagine being outside for the entire day under the Idaho sun. Now add to the fact that you have no way to stay cool or prevent a sunburn. The homeless are in need of your donations during the hot summer months.
