The Tom and Mary Tomlinson Family Foundation has just announced a $1 million matching gift specifically earmarked for the construction of the New Family Shelter Building. This facility is designed to serve 101 family members, including rooms for cribs, designed so families can stay together in private rooms. The building will also feature an early education classroom, teen lounge, family library, computer/study room, family dining area, laundry facilities, a mail room, and programming focused on employment, parenting, finances, housing, nutrition, and more. Additionally, the shelter will include a beautiful garden, playground, green space, and activity area for children to enjoy.
David Turnbull, representing the Tom and Mary Tomlinson Family, is challenging the community to join them in meeting this match. Turnbull stated, “We love our community and know the importance of vulnerable kids getting the support they need to heal, learn, and grow. We are excited to make it possible for Idaho’s families with children to get the help they need through the generosity of Idahoans.”
