About Us
We are Boise’s only year-round day shelter. Our mission is to ease the burden of local homelessness. We provide a place for people to get out of the weather, take a shower, wash their laundry, pick up mail, use the phone, eat, and be part of a community. We believe that each person is deserving of respect and human dignity.
Corpus Commons in Boise, Idaho is a daytime drop-in shelter that comes out of the tradition of Dorothy Day and her Catholic Worker movement and has expanded with participation of the Boise Community and support from local churches of various denominations. We are a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation whose mission is to serve local people experiencing homelessness.

Donate
One of the amazing things about Corpus Commons is that we rely heavily on donations to run our daily operations. There is no way we could support people experiencing homelessness without our generous community of supporters.
