We will be doing a pet food drive during the month of December. When you schedule a donation pickup in the month of December in Boise area and eastern Idaho routes, we will also pick up any pet food donation that you have that will benefit the local Humane Society.

Shop for Good Results

Last month we were the lucky recipients of Boise Co-op’s Shop for Good day. As the winners of their online contest, we collected 4% of the profits from the store on June 16th. We also set up a booth at the store in order to talk to customers about what The Arc does and thank them for shopping on our day. As a result, our Shop for Good Day raised over $2900 for our programs! We would like to thank everyone who voted for us online and who came to the Boise Co-op that day!
