Thank you, Treasure Valley

A community steps up for housing.

Our first Stepping Up Walk was a beautiful fall morning at Ann Morrison Park, and the start of a year-round effort to help Treasure Valley families buy, repair, and keep their homes when life makes that hard to do alone.

2026 walk: Saturday, October 10 · Ann Morrison Park, Boise · See you next fall.

October 10, 2026 · The first Stepping Up Walk

Blue skies, fall color, and good company.

Our first Stepping Up Walk couldn't have asked for a better morning. Under clear Boise skies and turning leaves, neighbors, friends, and families checked in at Ann Morrison Park, pulled on their Stepping Up shirts, and set out along the river together. Some walked briskly, most strolled, and everyone took their time to talk.

The best part was the conversation along the way. People swapped stories, met the Boise Love INC team, and talked about what it really takes to help a neighbor stay in their home. That's the heart of Stepping Up, and it made for a strong first step in a partnership we plan to grow every year.

Why Stepping Up exists

Home is the foundation everything else is built on.

When a single mother, an aging neighbor, or a family in a hard season faces losing their home — or the repair that would let them stay — a little help at the right moment changes everything. Stepping Up raises funds for housing-related assistance: help buying, repairing, or maintaining a home for Treasure Valley people navigating hardship.

A partnership, not a passthrough

How the help actually reaches a neighbor.

Stepping Up pairs the people who know housing with the organization that knows how to serve — each doing what they do best.

My Home Connection

The flagship moment

The annual Stepping Up community walk.

One morning a year, the Treasure Valley laces up and walks together — families, agents, sponsors, and neighbors — to raise the year's housing-assistance fund. Part fundraiser, part block party, all community.
