Gary’s Journey from Shelter to Staff | Boise News

Gary Harman’s journey from shelter life to shelter staff is a powerful testament to second chances. After two years at Boise’s Interfaith Sanctuary, he’s now thriving—living independently, working on-site, and helping others navigate the system that once saved him. His transformation began with recovery support and mentorship, culminating in a surprise apartment through Good Samaritan Ministries. Instead of walking away, Gary stayed involved, volunteering and eventually landing a janitorial role at the shelter. He now balances work and recovery groups, embodying the shelter’s mission. Yet, with over 300 people still waiting for beds, Gary’s success highlights a system that’s working—but urgently needs more support.

Jordan Devey: Coach, Father, Hero | Boise News

A beloved Super Bowl champion and high school coach, Jordan Devey, died at 38 after a private, courageous battle with mental health.

Grandjean Campground Devastated by Flash Flood | Boise News

A flash flood and mudslide obliterated Grandjean Campground and Trailhead, sweeping away vehicles, boulders, and even shifting the bridge—though the Sawtooth Lodge remains open and unscathed. The disaster, likely fueled by last year’s Wapiti Fire, has shut down the key Boise access point to the Sawtooth Wilderness, with Highway 21 rerouted through Sun Valley. Officials warn of ongoing hazards, while locals and staff brace for recovery—no injuries reported, but the damage is extensive and the road to Grandjean remains closed to campers.
