BOISE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY ASSETS
Q Center
Q Center provides a safe space to support and celebrate LGBTQ diversity, equity, visibility and community building. Q Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization which offers multi-generational programs and services in four core areas: Arts & Culture; Education & Training; Health & Wellness and Advocacy.
There are dozens of events and groups that meet here, some focused on specific topics (like coming out or gender identity) and others aimed at fun social interactions (like sing-along piano cabarets or craft nights). Entry to most of these is sliding-scale and run by dedicated volunteers, keeping Q Center truly community-driven and accessible. (Excerpt from: Q Center website)
Q Center hosts regular meetings of the Boise Neighborhood Association when we meet in person.

Hand Up Project - The People’s Pantry Free Food Project
Our program starts by addressing the most basic human need, food.
We find providing emergency food services allows us to form a bond that turns into friendship and trust, thus more productive interactions with participants. We pride ourselves in providing a safe non-judgmental atmosphere making certain everyone is treated with respect and kindness.
Offering a “shopping style” pantry targets the individual’s personal and culturally specific dietary needs, while avoiding food waste from “cookie cutter” style food boxes.
Hosted at the Q Center. Check out the open pantry schedule here.
