Co-op’s Shop for Good to Benefit Children’s Home Society of Idaho
September 7, 2011The Children’s Home Society of Idaho, a Boise-based nonprofit organization that provides emotional and behavioral health care to at-risk, underprivileged children in the community, is the latest nonprofit that stands to benefit from the Boise Co-op’s Shop for Good program.
On September 15, four percent of the Co-op’s total store and Wine Shop sales will be donated to Children’s Home Society of Idaho. Funds received from Shop for Good will be applied to the Children’s Home Society’s Community Sponsorship Program.

The conditions treated range from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to anxiety, depression and grief to Bipolar disorders and Schizophrenia, self-esteem issues and eating disorders. The Community Sponsorship Program ensures that children with these conditions are assessed and treated, regardless of ability to pay.
