The purpose of the Idaho Community Foundation Giving Station is to make charitable giving easy. Newcomers to Idaho may not know how many terrific nonprofits operate in Kootenai County.
It breaks my heart every time I go to the Companions Animal Shelter (formerly Kootenai Humane Society) website. There are currently 36 medium to large breed dogs up for adoption. The majority of those are terrier/pit mix.
One good deed in a community is like a pebble in a pond – causing far-reaching ripples.
Sixth graders at Coeur d’Alene Charter Academy started a wave of good through Kootenai County by performing good deeds in their neighborhood for a school project, and even they were shocked by the impact.
