BOISE, Idaho -

The Boise Rescue Mission women and children’s shelters need pajamas and pajama sets in all sizes year round for women, boys and girls.

Through Nov. 30 as part of its “Driven to Assist” initiative, Larry H. Miller Dealerships is hosting a pajama drive for the shelters, and on Christmas, guests staying at the organization’s City Light Home for Women and Children in Boise, and the Valley Women and Children’s Shelters in Nampa, receive a special Christmas care package with a new pair of pajamas included.

As temperatures drop, Boise Rescue Mission shelters fill up, said the mission’s president/chief executive officer, Rev. Bill Roscoe.  He added that in the winter months, the shelters anticipate 400 to 500 guests per night. About 200 of those guests are women and children.

“On Christmas, we want to let these families know that we care about them and are so glad they’re staying with us, by giving them a special Christmas package including a new pair of pajamas,” Roscoe said in a news release.

Service focus areas of the mission include emergency (food and shelter), addiction recovery through a 12- or 24-month program, veterans ministry program and services to help women and children.

“We appreciate Larry H. Miller Dealerships’ continued partnership over the years, and their employees and customers supporting our families with this drive,” Roscoe said.

Through Nov. 30, members of the public can drop off donations at the following Boise locations:

— Larry H. Miller Honda: 7710 West Gratz Drive.

— Larry H. Miller Subaru: 11196 West Fairview Ave.

— Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram: 222 Auto Drive.

— Larry H. Miller Used Car Supermarket: 9380 West Fairview Ave.

“As families shelter together during the holidays, we want to do our part to help them feel warm and safe with a new pair of pajamas,” said Larry H. Miller Honda Boise general manager Brad Moore. “We hope our employees and customers will consider purchasing an extra pair while they’re doing their holiday shopping and bring these families a little bit of joy.”
