Sabrina Carrillo+FollowBoise’s only daytime shelter needs us nowCorpus Commons, Boise’s only daytime shelter, is seeing more people than ever as housing costs skyrocket. They’re not just offering a warm meal or a shower—they’re a lifeline for folks who work full-time but still can’t afford rent. This weekend, they’re throwing a gingerbread house contest to raise funds and bring the community together. It’s a fun way to help neighbors who are falling through the cracks, especially with the new Galloway law and the ongoing housing crisis. If you’re curious or want to help, stop by, ask questions, and see how you can make a difference. #Safety #Boise #CommunitySupport00Share
