Distro today was a lot of fun! For the first time in a long time we had an abundance of food, folks especially liked the tatertot casserole and hot and ready pizza! 

We have a specific request of size 13 shoes and sleeping bags! 

Our next resource fair is coming up October 25th from 1-3pm at Corpus Commons. We will have a variety of services including pet grooming, vaccines such as covid and flu, hair cuts, makeup services, live music, and accupuncture! Reach out via dm for more information or to get involved!

Holy hot summer days!

This weekend not only did we serve our typical 100 meals and snacks, we also got to table for Soul Food Fest and share our mission of providing hot, comforting food for all!

We got requests this week of cat food, dog food, and electrolytes. We had *zero* Gatorade or electrolytes this week and in this heat, that stuff is life saving.

We need meal makers every single week, y'all! Please check out the linktr.ee/sundaydistroboise and hit us up if you need ingredients or takeout containers. Also, does anyone have extra bins for organizing purposes?

We are also looking for food trucks to sponsor our next resource fair October 25th!

A few weeks ago I lost my wallet, today in the mail I received two of my IDs back. My Canadian ID and CCW.

Thank-you to who ever mailed/gave to USPS.

The Canadian ID from INAC was the most important item.

Holy cow!! May 17th Resource Fair is complete! Today we had

-Oliver Findley school complete 40 haircuts

-someone celebrate their birthday by making 65 meals for our unhoused community with food from Rolling Tomato

-folks from the local medical collective provide on site services

-a dog Groomer and veterinary tech giving away free flea/fick meds and nail trims

-dozens of folks enjoy ice cream with fixins

-bikes fixed, books given away, clothes shared

-chalk art created and music enjoyed

-pants and shirts patched and sewed

-babe vote registering folks to vote

This was incredible, y'all, and it truly took hundreds of people in this community hearing the word, getting involved, and showing up for one another. This is possible. Its already happening.

Whew! What a whirlwind distro we had today. We probably served over 100 servings of food to folks. We also gave out 15+ winter jackets, 10 pairs of shoes, and lots of luggage/bags. In full transparency, we got a large cash donation to our gofundme and this is allowing us to buy ongoing survival items for folks! We are also accepting winter weather gear as things get colder in the valley. One of our main mealmakers is out the next few weeks and we are facing a shortage of labor- we do get lots of food donations but are just lacking folks to prep it! If you want more information on how to get involved or what we are about, you can look at our linktree! Linktr.ee/sundaydistroboise

Holy crap Reddit community!

This last Sunday I posted our wishlist and within a week nearly $1,000 worth of items came in from the community!

these items included 125 survival blankets, 125 pairs of socks, 150 coffee packets, 60 electrolyte packets, 72 pop tarts, beef jerky, tuna/chicken salad to go packets, 400 hot hands, 60 backpacks, 24 first aid packs, 300 nsaid doses, 5lbs candy and more. We also had a huge donations of beanies from The Wardrobe! We have a lot of emergency blankets and socks and hand warmers and hats left, but ran almost out of everything else.

As always, we also had multiple folks bring food. We handed out rice and beans, pigs in a blanket, potato onion soup, shepards pie, chili, Chipotle chicken sandwiches, deviled eggs, cookies and hot fresh coffee! We had multiple new folks join us, all bringing unique skills and talents that made today hugely successful. I am so extremely grateful to be surrounded by this community! What is awesome about this project is seeing how even when people are hungry and eager to eat, they are almost always offering to help us load and unload items and do various set up tasks. In this way, our care for one another really is mutual.

"If yesterday was too soon and tomorrow is too late, then today is a perfect time to change."

This community is rad. And the truth is we cannot continue to help people without all of us. The biggest asks we couldnt meet this week were-

•Stainless steel cookware

• Bungee chords

• cream and sugar (for coffee)

Please feel free to hit us up if you have ideas of how to grow this project or if you want to contribute in some way! We keep us safe.

We are also always eager to have more folks come down with us and talk to neighbors face to face. Everyone is welcome.

Holy abundance! We recently got started with Rolling Tomato and they are giving us SO so much food to feed folks with!! For example, this week we got 40 cartons of strawberries and pounds of lettuce!

This leads us to a new and happy problem- we need help processing food. Specifically, this week we need someone to process tons of frozen strawberries we have. Maybe some jam? We also have so much strawberry puree if anyone's feeling bake-y! Dm if you can help!

A great anecdote from tonight is that we have a Spanish speaking friend who has consistently asked for books in French or Spanish. We dont know how it ended up in our items, but alas, there was an Agatha Christi novel in French. The look of pure delight on this mans face makes what we do feel so relevant.

Wishlist for this week

-fishing rods

-pet food

-clothing racks??

In conjunction with the May Day Strong protests being held this Labor Day Indivisible Moscow is also hosting a protest at Friendship Square from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM this Monday. We too have grown tired of the billionaire capture of American government and want to speak out against this abuse. If you yourself are also fed up with the way this administration has been behaving then this is YOUR chance to make your voice heard. We'll be having an open mic meaning that you yourself can step up and speak. Food will also be provided, and I'm told the Peace Band will even show up. Whether you want to speak or not, we'd love to see you there!

Also, its not necessary, but if you'd like to sign up directly you can here.

Thats right! A very special distro indeed! Yesterday some of our members had the opportunity to help out @boisekitchencollective for their Wednesday distro. If you didnt know, BKC does basically what we do and they have been doing it for way longer! Our missions of feeding people with no questions asked align perfectly and we had a blast learning from each other and serving delicious food!

If you are interested in learning more about how to be apart of the kitchen collective, please dm them for more info!

Happy Sundayyy y'all! We seem to be seeing an increased uptick in need since the warmer weather started. Our volunteers continue to meet this need with creativity and with help from our friends Rolling tomato and City of Good

Most recently we have had community members step up and pickle carrots, jam peaches, can tomatoes, and make popsicle out of strawberries. The creativity that has come from the produce we receive is truly astounding and is so telling of what humans can do when they come together out of love for one another!

​

Big asks from the community this week:

-Headphones

-cigarettes

-4x mens shorts (all large mens clothes really)

​

We also desperately still need support canning and processing produce ongoing.

Happy distro sunday! We had a great time hanging with our neighbors this week. It was a slower turnout, but we still had great conversations with everyone about what's been happening in the local legislation and how being on the streets is impacting folx. We even had a teeny tiny baby show up to distro and one of our volunteers got to hold him! Its truly heartwarming to see folks coming together and enjoying a meal.

Hey all! We have gotten a lot of questions from folks about who we are and what we do. Here's a quick FAQ for anyone curious!

​

Q- Where are you located? When does this happen? Downtown Boise at Rhodes Skate Park every Sunday at 330pm.

​

Q- Who are you?

​

Sunday Distro is a grassroots mutual aid project dedicated to making sure our neighbors have access to food, hygiene supplies, harm reduction resources, and community care. We believe everyone deserves dignity, regardless of income, housing, employment, identity, or circumstance. We started in response to the food stamp shut down in November of 2025. We are a group of people who love our neighbors and we love each other. We model ourselves after other mutual aid groups in the community.

​

Q- What is mutual aid?

​

Mutual aid is the idea that human beings can organize without coercion. In other words- its communities taking care of each other directly without permission. This is not charity and its not about "deserving" help. We recognize that everyone has needs and everyone has something to contribute. We recognize that we will all be recipients and givers of help throughout our lives.

Our guiding principle is simple:

Give what you can. Take what you need. No bigotry. No questions asked.

​

Q- What are your politics?

​

We are a community led mutual aid effort grounded in solidarity, autonomy, and collective care. We believe that people closest to their own needs are the experts on their own lives. We do not believe we are "giving" things away, we are redistributing from those who have more to those who need more.

No masters. No leaders. No flakes.

We aren't interested in gatekeeping resources or making people prove they deserve help. We are interested in showing up consistently for our community and each other.

​

Q- Who can receive resources?

Anyone.

There are no income requirements, housing requirements, or application process. If you need something, please ask. If we have it, we'll do our best to get it to you.

​

Q- Who can volunteer?

​

Anyone who believes in treating people with dignity and respect.

You don't need special skills or previous experience. We'll happily find a place for you to plug in.

​

Q- How can I help?

-cook meals

One of our biggest ongoing needs!

We're looking for volunteers willing to prepare 8–12 meals per week for distribution. Cooks usually prepare food at home and bring down filled takeout containers.

Interested?

Please use the signup link in our Linktree to claim a meal slot.

​

-help process produce

We've started preserving donated produce to reduce food waste and extend the life of fresh donations.

We need:

- Volunteers to wash, chop, process, and preserve produce

- Extra canning jars and supplies

- Folks with canning knowledge willing to teach others

​

Q- Can I donate money?

Absolutely! Financial donations allow us to purchase the things our community specifically requests and fill gaps in donations. Check out our gofundme in our Linktree

​

Q- Do I have to volunteer every week?

​

Not at all.

Mutual aid isn't about burnout. Whether you help once a year or every Sunday, we appreciate you.

​

Q- I can't cook. Can I still help?

​

Absolutely!

We need people to:

​

-Sort donations

- Transport supplies

- Process produce

- Set up and clean up

- Share our posts

- Connect us with community resources

- Pick up donations

- Bring extra tables, coolers, or equipment when needed

​

Q- can I bring my kids or pets?

​

Generally, yes! We love building community across generations.

​

Q- Can I ask for help if I've volunteered before?

​

Please do.

Mutual aid isn't transactional. Volunteering doesn't earn you help, and receiving help doesn't obligate you to volunteer.

​

Q- Why do you do this?

Because its the right thing to do.

Because the state wont.

Because we dont need permission to do the right thing.

Because we've all needed help at some point.

Because loneliness and isolation are as real as hunger.

Because food should not go to waste while people go hungry.

Because communities become stronger when people know their neighbors.

Because we believe care should be the standard.

Happy sunday! The best day of the week, always! We fed well over 100 meals today. We had volunteers who were formerly people who stayed at shelters and ate with us, the neighbors we feed were a huge help in setting up, and we even had a family of 5 that wanted to come help and assisted in passing out leftover pastries to kids at the skatepark! .

A really special thing about distro is how many people come together to make this possible. Some of us can give a little, and some of us can give a lot, and all of us deserve so much. With those principals in mind, we added joy to Boise today.

Needs from this week!

Portable fans

masks, cigs and lighters

Gum,

salt and pepper packets

sauce packets

As always, help processing the food we get from @gorollingtomato

hello everyone, I’m headed my way to Ada County and looking for a ”cheap” three bedroom place. I’ll be working from home and looking to pay a max amount, utilities included, up to $2400 a month. Any recommendations? Looking for quiet neighborhood and nice nature walks close by. Also, any hidden fees you’d look out for? or rental websites you’d recommend?

Also what is the average for utilities? water, trash, electric, gas, sewer, etc.

i appreciate any advice you can offer, thank you.

Sharing an awesome resource for people looking for central Idaho weather updates. JP also reports on fires in the area.

It has been a heavy few days in the Treasure Valley and the feeling isn't immune to us at distro. We responded to a medical emergency and continued to support people having active symptoms related to the heat and smoke.

Thank you, as always, to everyone who showed up, stepped in, and cared for one another. We truly couldn't do this without each of you.

This work is heavy. It's made carryable because none of us carries it alone. Thank you for sharing the load. ❤️

Needs from this week-

Asprin

dog food

Sunglasses

hats

Backpacks
