boise rescue mission

How one private Faith-Based Group is making a difference.

There's never a nonprofit fundraiser that's aided by his humor, compassion, and empathy as the master of ceremonies.

Check out our photos of Idaho's famous running turkeys.

No one walked away with an empty stomach.

Over the years, thousands of resident have laughed and smiled while taking pictures with the 'Treasure Valley Turkey.'

"Kevin in a Turkey suit is like Santa Claus for adults,"

"I didn't put any smut on my page. I didn't swear, and I didn't put any untruths on my page,"

The event was forced to cancel last year but are excited to be back for the 10th annual Turkey Day 5k in Boise and new this year adding a race in Caldwell. One local annual tradition that is great for getting your metabolize up so you can eat more Thanksgiving dinner but it is also a fun way to start a long weekend with friends, family and community.

The employees of the Mission are relentless in helping their guests find affordable housing once they are ready to return to the outside world.

Community love!  There's a lot of it and it's generally channeled into one place...
