MARCH 2025 Newsletter


Updates from Idaho's Free and Charitable Clinics


The past few months have been busy for Idaho's Free and Charitable Clinics. We'll share a number of updates here but first we must share our ever constant gratitude for our volunteers, donors, partners and amazing fellow non-profits across the state and country. Thank you!


We also appeal to all of our friends to spread the word of the good work done by Idaho's Free and Charitable Clinics, and our ever growing need for volunteers, resources and funding.


This year please remember to support IAFCC through the Idaho Gives Campaign. Share our link and our posts throughout the campaign!

This fall, as families settle back into their routines, and we make plans to enjoy our favorite autumn traditions, many families are settling into a very different reality.



ALICE*, a term the United Way coined as a way to discuss America's working poor, refers to Americans who are living above the poverty line, hardworking and employed, but still limited in assets and income to the point of compromising basic needs for their families.


The ALICE population in Idaho is at 43%, and it represents a large percentage of the patients served by Idaho Free and Charitable Clinics.


What is often misunderstood about free and charitable clinics is that most of our patients are employed and hardworking.


However, when choosing between food, housing, transportation, child care, basic household necessities, and healthcare, in a working poor household, something will be compromised.


So often, due to cost, those without insurance will end up compromising their health and Idaho's Free and Charitable Clinics are here to make sure that doesn't have to happen.


We aren't just providing healthcare, we are the reason people can keep their jobs, and afford to support their families.


*Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed
