BOISE, Idaho — 7Cares Idaho Shares is a community safety net campaign started by KTVB in 2008. Its mission is to aid local charities serving people in our communities who need help the most. The goal is to fully stock the shelves and fill the coffers of our local nonprofits for winter. As the temperature drops, the need for food, shelter and aid grows.
The event takes place on Dec. 14 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at several Treasure Valley locations.
Saturday's event will air live on KTVB Channel 7, KTVB.COM, KTVB's YouTube channel, KTVB+ on Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, and the KTVB mobile app.
