Healing Hope Haven
About Healing Hope Haven
Healing Hope Haven meets people in Idaho who are facing homelessness or unexpected hardship with the basics that matter right away, like food, water, socks, hygiene kits, bedding, shoes, and first aid kits. Then it helps connect them to local partners for shelter, showers, haircuts, counseling, comfort, and a supportive community. For donors, that means your support can go beyond a one-time handoff and help open the door to steadier care.
What sets Healing Hope Haven apart is the way it pairs immediate, hands-on outreach with local referrals. Someone can receive practical supplies and also be connected to people and services that can help them move forward. Its work is rooted in a Christian-centered, community-driven approach that grew from simple acts of care into organized local response.

Our story
Jaynie Larson started Healing Hope Haven, along with the grassroots effort Highway Handouts for the Unhoused, after commuting through Boise and seeing people in need at freeway exits where stopping was not allowed. She began handing out food, water, and kindness from her car window. That small response grew into a mission focused on linking people to real resources and support.
