As of November 1, 2025, many Boiseans have been affected by the lapse in federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Over 25,000 people in Ada County are feeling the impacts of this – working families, kids, seniors, and those with disabilities who rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table each month. These are our neighbors, friends, and coworkers.
Many Boise residents have contacted us to ask how they can help, so we've compiled a list of resources for those looking to get help and for those looking to give help during this time. The resources in the guide below are updated frequently, however, we encourage you to call the location(s) you plan on visiting for the most recent hours.
