BOISE, Idaho â As temperatures heat up, Interfaith Sanctuary is seeking donations to help people experiencing homelessness beat the heat and stay cool.
The nonprofit Boise shelter has been stocking up on items, such as water bottles and sunscreen and distributing them to those in need.
âWhat we try and do is preventive measures, encourage them to find indoor space, stay at the cooler places like the river if thereâs not an inside space for them. We encourage hydration, said Jodi Peterson-Stigers said, Executive Director of Interfaith Sanctuary. By the time they get back to us if they havenât been with us during the day sometimes itâs about getting them cool off and manage their health.â
