7Cares Idaho Shares is a community safety net campaign started by KTVB in 2008. Its mission is to aid local charities serving people in our communities who need help the most. The goal is to fully stock the shelves and fill the coffers of our local nonprofits for winter. As the temperature drops, the need for food, shelter and aid grows. This year, the need is particularly great.

Since 2008, through donations from individuals and Idaho companies, 7Cares Idaho Shares has provided over 15 million meals to Idahoans. This year, 7Cares Idaho Shares will be held December 1st-13th, starting with an on-air and digital campaign encouraging online donations and culminating in 7Cares Day on from 8a-11a on Saturday, December 13th at donation sites across southwest Idaho.
