BOISE, Idaho —

The 15th annual 7Cares Idaho Shares will take place Saturday, Dec. 10 from 8 a.m. to noon.

 7Cares Idaho Shares is a live event as well as virtual, with KTVB  accepting donations online.

For the in-person day of giving on Dec. 10, KTVB will broadcast live on KTVB Channel 7 at several locations throughout the Treasure Valley and Twin Falls, accepting food and cash donations to help the hungry and homeless in Idaho.

7Cares Idaho Shares is also a virtual fundraiser - donations are accepted online from Monday, Nov. 28 through Dec. 10. Donate here.

7Cares Idaho Shares key talking points:

• 7Cares Idaho shares is a community safety net campaign started by KTVB in 2008. Its mission is to aid local charities serving the people in our communities who need help the most. The goal is to fully stock the shelves and fill the coffers of these nonprofits for winter. As the temperature drops, the need for food, shelter and aid grows.

• Since 2008, through donations from individuals and Idaho companies, 7Cares Idaho Shares has provided over 6.9 million meals to Idahoans.

• Every donation provides nutritious food to children, seniors, veterans, and families throughout Idaho, as well as housing and heating assistance. Scroll down to see a full list of nonprofit beneficiaries or click here.

• Each year, Idaho businesses step up in a big way to join the “Companies That Care,” donating generously to 7Cares Idaho Shares as part of their corporate community charitable giving. KTVB looks forward every year to sharing their stories with our community to honor and celebrate their compassion and caring. To learn more about Companies That Care, contact KTVB Community Service Director Traci Liew at tliew@ktvb.com.
