While we all would love to be charitable all year long, sometimes it just doesn’t happen! And that’s okay! Luckily, we have Idaho Gives week to remind us of all the amazing non profit organizations that make the Wood River Valley so special. While we know every organization does amazing things, here are a few of our favorites!
If you are able, check out the full list of organizations and find one near and dear to your heart to help support!
