• BOISE BISHOPS’ STOREHOUSE CHANGES - Some exciting, new changes are being made at the Boise Bishops’ Storehouse. 

• The Boise Home Storage Center (formerly at the Garden City Cannery) is now open at its new location on 10740 West Fairview Suite 300, Boise,  Idaho 83713. This location (by Deseret Industries) is easily accessible and fully stocked! Hours of operation are:

  1. 1. 1. Tuesday 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm

        2. Saturday 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

• This location (by the Deseret Industries) should be more easily accessed by the members in our area and will have everything the Cannery location supplied. 

• We are sorry to say that the Bishops’ Storehouse will no longer have a lobby area for extra family members to wait while their orders are being filled. 

• Also, we are not able to do “fill ahead” pick up orders because there is not an area to store the filled shopping carts awaiting the patron's arrival.

• We won’t fill any orders until the patron arrives, so there is no need to call ahead. 

• Call when you arrive and we will promptly fill the order with you.

• FAMILY SERVICES - Family Services provides a variety of services aimed towards helping families overcome specific challenges.  We’ve been advised that the Church will now cover the expenses of counseling and other family services.  You still must get the Bishop’s approval to use these services. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kim Roth.

• PICKLEBALL!

  • • • UPDATED HOURS FOR RELIEF SOCIETY ONLY - 10am-noon every Tuesday at the Stake Center. All Relief Society sisters are welcome!

      • There are also Pickleball Nets available to use at our building if sisters would like to play other times. These buildings will need to be scheduled on the Stake Calendar if a regular use is wanted.

      • Call Brooke Cleverly with interest in nets, new scheduling, or any other questions.
