“We imagined and hoped for this moment for so long when it finally happened It was beyond my imaginings. The staff did such a wonderful job of taking care of the many details to ensure they would have what they needed when the arrived. Mercy Kitchen crew and Francis X Kalange was up and running ready to serve our guests a wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner. … Thank you Boise. Thank you for believing, standing by our side and showing up in the millions of ways we needed you to. Tomorrow we will bring more guests to their new home — our families with children. This new shelter home is groundbreaking, life saving and the most meaningful thing I have ever been a part of. I will rest easier tonight.”…
