United Way of Treasure Valley helps children who are struggling outside of school. Right now, approximately 4,000 K-12 students are experiencing homelessness in the Treasure Valley. From Boise to Nampa to Caldwell, many students and their families are ‘couch surfing,’ living out of cars or motels, or they have moved in with another family or friend. United Way finds ways to support these students by providing hygiene items and shelf-stable foods to each school district’s social workers and homeless student liaisons, who directly support these students.
