“If you haven't utilized Boise Bike Project, you need to! It is such an amazing community contributor. You can truly help by bringing in all your outgrown or unused bikes. The workers here repair bikes and hearts💕 Do you know a kid that could use some wheels, come create some happiness, get them a bike. Do you have a teen that would like to learn how to repair bicycles, they have classes for that, too! Kids can bring their bikes in for repair for FREE at certain times/days! This place is incredible and prices are extremely affordable! All the staff are here to serve; very helpful! Love this place and what they provide❤ Thank you, you are truly a blessing 🙏”
“I have only attended to a few of the events. The events were great, well organized, and well attended. I was able to network with some wonderful people and businesses. Thank you, Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce.”
“This is a wonderful little Aquarium. My Grandkids, ages 7 and 13, really enjoyed the interactive pools where they could actually touch fish like sharks and stingrays! You'll see some reptiles too.”
“The Peregrine Fund is a very special organization! They assist endangered Raptors / Birds of Prey all over the world. They research why specific species of Raptors are failing, and go all-in to help restore them!This special facility in Boise is the one place you can come and see up close and personal Raptors from all over the world. Awesome staff, fabulously knowledgeable volunteers. Definitely worth the time!”
“I've never felt so at home or that I belong/am meant to be somewhere. Dana's Dharma Talks are easy to digest and resonate well, she's extremely wise but also speaks lightly and uses humor often. In parting with this Sangha I always feel like my lenses and heart are wiped clean. It's one stop in my week that no matter what is going on in my life I make it and am always grateful when I depart. ☸️”
“Actual life savers. I have worked with Toni for years and I will recommend her to anyone who will listen. I really do love these guys. They have changed my life in so many ways.”

“I have not yet visited the 'school' / 'learning experiment lab' called, Stone One, in Idaho but based on their video; their values and philosophy I'd say they are far ahead of the 'education' game and that the world WILL soon indeed be a better place because of them!!”
“Our Favorite Place to shop for my teen I'm so jeoulouse of all the nice items she is given and the staff are so sweet and caring Kelly your an amazing women! Thank you for all that you and your team do for our teen community ? ??? ”
“What can I saw about what I know about Girl Scouts is their cookies they sell each year to bring in money to support the on going Girl Scouts association. They do have a very nice headquarters here in Boise I feel is a bit to fancy and probably cast a pretty amount of money to keep it operating and the grounds. The girls really enjoy making new friends and they learn skills they can use for the rest of their lives.”
“My wife and I love this place. Such big hearts and help so many families. They are doing the memory albums for the kids at U of I. They work miracles for the family’s. Thank you Jacki for your service!”

“We've shopped at different HfH restores in many states and this one is pretty nice. It's well organized, clean, well lit, and the prices are great. I love that the doors have sizes written on them and most everything is priced clearly. The staff is nice and super helpful. Ricky was awesome, he knew about so many products that were in the store, where they were and what he had in stock! There is plenty of parking even if you have a trailer. ** They even have monthly specials, this month is 50% off hardwood flooring, 10% off tile, and tables and chairs were discounted also!!!”
“The team at conserva Irrigation did a great job on my sprinkler repairs, start up and install of better watering system for our front flower garden they professional friendly and helpful thank you”

“Our son was diagnosed dyslexic in 4th grade, reading at a 2nd grade level. We started tutoring then and by 6th grade he was caught up with his peers AND had gained an unmeasurable amount of confidence. This is one expense we will never regret, well worth every penny!”
“I really enjoyed volunteering at the pick up event. Eric and his staff are masters at hanging such a huge event and make it look so easy. Their positive attitude and professionalism are truly evident!”
“Camp Rainbow Gold has been a blessing to our two daughters and our family. It literally changes these kids lives for the better. Giving them one week where they don’t have to worry about a thing!”
“Love finding odds and ends here. However do you close at 6pm like the door and Google hours say? OR do you close at 5:45, 5:50 so your staff can leave right at 6pm? Because TWICE now (on a Thursday) I have come by at those exact times and doors LOCKED. Workers are inside. Just locking doors early. Very frustrating for those who get off and are rushing traffic to make it for a quick run in. Just to find it already closed early. Very FRUSTRATING!!”
“They're amazing to work with, and get help from.They have many services and they barley charge anything.They get everything to the best of their ability and a timely manner considering everything crazy going on right now.Wether that is legal services or related to immigration, the place is the best.Many refugees though expect much more of what the place can offer, due to the fact that they have a very false narrative of how things are in the U.S. before coming here, yet regardless, IRC always try the best to give the best services they can, and they always deliver.Compared to other offices in other states, the boise IRC office is in the top 3 for sure in my opinion!”
“The staff here are beyond amazing, and the environment is so welcoming. I've taken a couple of friends there and went in myself. The sense of relief, just being able to talk and receive thoughtful feedback and questions, is amazing!”
“Great staff, always friendly, helpful and keeping it clean.. As with many gyms, there are busy times. If that’s bothersome just avoid rush hour, otherwise access is fine.”
“I've always been welcomed here in this YMCA...even as a guest B4 my membership w no different treatment. Roy, Karen, the leadership here as it dripples down to the 2 young men at the front desk are heroic and undescribable when it comes to words..thx guys for making me feel at home
Gratefully,
~Bobby?~”
“Honestly one of the cleanest thrift stores ever! I'm from out of the area and the prices were staggeringly low!! Absolutely *had* to buy something on principle. Also, very friendly staff :)”
“For dinner and lunch sometimes can we have nachos without mushrooms and hot peppers. I'm allergic to mushrooms and others are allergic to mushrooms and hot peppers. A lot of females love chocolate cake and watermelon. I'm not allergic to either one. I prefer chocolate chip cake. What about homemade ravioli? I'm allergic to jelly and peanut butter. I'm allergic to a lot of different coffees too, shrimp and coconut. Water chestnut I'm not allergic to I see no use for it but I will swallow it.”
“Awesome place for musicians to come together for the love of music, but also for mental health resources. Love this place, and their open mic last Wednesday of the month is super fun!”
