frequently asked questions/How it works

By signing up for emails, you will be notified whenever we put on a drive or community event. This makes it easy for you to participate in our drives. The emails will include helpful information to have a successful drive. We will help get your items to the organization we are supporting by picking them up or setting up a drop-off location. Note that signing up for emails is different than joining Gathering Good. Anyone is eligible to sign up for emails. 

Gathering Good members are kids ages 12-18 who are looking to help the Boise community. By becoming a member, you will have the opportunity to help pick up items, coordinate drives, and earn volunteer hours. By joining Gathering Good, you are not required to volunteer in every drive. Note that this is different from signing up for emails. 

That is totally fine! Participation is always optional. We appreciate every donation towards the need we have highlighted, but we recognize that donating may not always be an option. 

No, Gathering Good is focused on collecting and donating items rather than money. 

Anyone! We accept almost every donation and we encourage everyone to donate.
