September was a powerhouse month for the volunteers at Assistance League of Boise’s Canyon County Branch!

Here is how our incredible volunteers showed up for local kids and families this month:

Operation School Bell: Hosted a fantastic shopping day at JCPenney, helping local students pick out brand-new clothes for the school year.

Baby Bundles: Delivered loads of essential baby items to Saint Alphonsus to give newborn little ones a warm, healthy start.

Desert Springs Elementary: Stocked classrooms with brand-new pencil boxes to make sure students have the tools they need to succeed.

A huge shoutout and thank you to these amazing ladies for pouring so much love and hard work into our Canyon County community!

Assistance League® of Boise, through our Cinderella’s Closet program, recently provided an opportunity for girls and women who are part of Idaho Miss Amazing to try on and pick out no-cost formal wear for their upcoming event AMPLIFY.

AMPLIFY is an event where girls and women with disabilities step into the spotlight to build confidence and self-advocacy skills, defining who they are and who they want to be – on their own terms. Through the three skill areas—Interview, Passion Presentation, and Introduction—participants share their stories and showcase what they love.

We feel so honored to have played a small part in helping them feel confident and beautiful. This is just one more way that Assistance League of Boise is helping people in our community!

Assistance League® of Boise’s wonderful Brighter Image Wigs program serves members of our community who have medical hair loss. By appointment only, each recipient can choose up to two new wigs, completely free of charge.

To make our wig area more comfortable, we recently did a remodel with new storage and seating areas.

Past wig recipients have stated, “Getting my wig was a great start to this new life challenge” and “This program is quite literally the best in the valley.” If you or someone you know can benefit from this service, please call (208) 488-2912 with any questions or to schedule an appointment with one of our caring volunteers.
