There is so much to be thankful for here at Glocal. We recognize that each and everyday the programs, the relationships, the ability to provide items is because of people like you who volunteer support and help Glocal run. Thank you!!

Alternative Christmas
Gift Giving

This past weekend Glocal had the opportunity take part in an Alternative Christmas Market and we thought we would make that available to all of you as well. The idea behind this is to give a gift in the name of a family member or friend by giving toward one of the project needs of Glocal. See the opportunities below and then click on the Alternative Gift Giving button to fill out the form for what you would like to give. Glocal will then send a card in an envelope on your behalf to your gift receiver or we will send it to you to give. Please contact Laura at lauraa@glocalboise.org if you have any other questions.

Alternative Gift Giving Form

We are so full of thanks for all that has been provided this year to run the Glocal Programs. God is Good.
Prayer for pathways for many of the Afghan men to be able to bring their wives and children to the U.S. Many are very lonely, worried and stressed from having their families so far away.
For God to continue to lead us as we match Idahoans with New American families. He knows best who would connect well together.
Drivers Needed: Helping people get to appointments as well as learning how to drive has become a big need. Pray for people to help with these needs.
