More Ways to Give!
There are many ways to give to IFRM beyond financial donations. Whether you leave IFRM in your will, donate used goods, partner with us, or give your time as a volunteer—every little bit goes a long way helping our neighbors in need.
Want to make a difference?
Donating to the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission (IFRM) is about more than giving money—it’s about changing lives right here in our community.
Here’s why your support matters:
1. It Meets Immediate Needs
Your donation helps provide meals, safe shelter, and basic necessities to individuals and families facing homelessness or hardship. For many, this is the difference between going hungry and having a warm place to rest.
2. It Supports Long Lasting Life Transformation
IFRM doesn’t just meet short-term needs—it helps people rebuild their lives through programs focused on stability, and personal growth. Your support helps people move from crisis to independence.
3. It Strengthens Our Local Community
When you give to IFRM, you’re helping your neighbors. Every dollar stays local, directly impacting people in Idaho Falls and the surrounding areas.
4. It Helps Expand Services
As needs grow, so must the services. Donations allow IFRM to expand meal programs, shelter capacity, and outreach efforts—like adding additional meal days to ensure no one is left behind.
5. It Gives Hope
Beyond food and shelter, your donation provides something just as important—hope. It reminds people they are seen, valued, and not alone.
Church Engagement
Idaho Falls Rescue Mission works side by side with churches to fulfill Jesus’ commission to spread the good news and bring His grace and truth to the world.
Ways to Engage:

“To pray is to enter the treasure-house of God and to gather riches out of an inexhaustible storehouse.” -Charles Spurgeon
