What we do

Outreaches

Once a month, Neighbor Idaho brings donations, food, and a whole lot of love to downtown Boise. We distribute supplies (socks, clothes, hygiene products) based on the seasonal and practical needs. While these products are important, the heart of these outreaches is to connect with these people by having conversations that make them feel loved, seen and supported. We usually like to have around 10-15 volunteers for these outreaches.

Block Parties

Biannually, we partner with some of our favorite local businesses and host block parties in the center of Cooper Court. These are designed to be a place of safety, fun, and community for our unhoused neighbors. We cook delicious food, play music, dance, play games and give out haircuts…all for free of course.This is one of our favorite events of the year! At these two events, we like to have a range of 25-30 volunteers.

Community Involvement

We are passionate about empowering and educating our community to love our homeless community every day, not just once a month. To accomplish this, we will be launching Neighbor Packs (coming very soon) so you can always strike up a conversation with a neighbor, no matter where you are or what resources you have available. Additionally, supporting other organizations is important to us, so please reach out if you would like more information about connecting with our organization or if you need support at your next event!

Our story

Neighbor Idaho is a non-profit based in Boise, ID founded by Daniel Thomas in 2018.

Daniel's experience serving on Skid Row in Los Angeles stirred his heart to advocate for those living on the streets in Boise. He began filling a practical need by handing out water bottles on hot days and reminding those on the streets that they are not forgotten.

As Daniel's vision grew, Neighbor was born. Today, Neighbor's team of volunteers flood the streets of Downtown Boise monthly, bringing toiletries, food, clothing, and other items to those without a house. Neighbor continues to foster genuine relationships with people in their own environment by showing love and support with no strings attached.

The Team

Founder

Daniel Thomas

Daniel Thomas first dreamed up the idea for Neighbor back in 2015 and officially put that dream into action in 2018. Since then, he’s been all-in on building community, fostering connection, and helping his neighbors feel seen and supported. By day, Daniel also works in the nonprofit sector as the Housing Director for CATCH, where he helps lead housing efforts for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Boise. Outside of work, Daniel is a proud husband to Lindsey (married in 2021) and a new dad to their daughter, Scarlet, born in 2024. He’s passionate about music—playing drums at his church and teaching lessons on the side. When he’s not behind a drum kit, he’s likely playing pickleball, hitting the golf course, or catching a football game with friends and family.
