Who We Serve
Where We Work
We serve individuals and families in Athol, Bayview, Careywood, and other small, rural, underserved communities in north Idaho — generally north of Lancaster Road in Hayden and south of the Sandpoint Long Bridge.
If you are outside that area we will do our best to point you toward someone closer who can help.
We are volunteers, not a call center. Give us a day or two, and if something is urgent please say so in your message.
