BOISE, Idaho — Thanks to a local group and random acts of kindness, the Treasure Valley homeless population will be much warmer this winter.
The fence between Interfaith Sanctuary and Corpus Christi was lined with scarves and a sign that said, "take one or leave one."
The group Scarf Project - Treasure Valley got things started on December 21 by putting up a batch of clothes on the fence.
Interfaith’s executive director Jodi Peterson-Stigers says she noticed the fence on her drive to work last week. The garments were gone within a couple of days.
"I think our community is so responsive to need," Peterson-Stigers said. "We see it every day because of the work we do and the help we need. So, we often rely on our community."
Peterson-Stigers added that Interfaith is struggling to get volunteers on Saturdays and Sundays.
"I think kindness is very natural to our community and I don't think anyone needs to teach our community to be kind they already are and I think we are very lucky it makes our job easier to be able to witness this kind all the time," she said.
