As part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence, Latter-day Saints in Idaho joined in several recent efforts to serve those in need.
On Thursday, Jan. 22, volunteers gathered in the state Capitol in Boise, Idaho, to assemble hygiene kits for schools across the state. Megan Remaley, president and CEO of United Way of Treasure Valley, said the kits will give families in need one less thing to worry about in their budgets.
“Think about the opportunity to relieve just a little bit of stress for a family,” Remaley said. “And then think about the confidence boost it offers kids to know that they have what they need to be healthy and well and show up as their best in the classroom, ready to learn.”
