GIVING
Your Generosity Changes Lives
Every gift makes a difference, no matter the size. When you give to St. Luke’s, you can choose if your donation goes to a local project or any St. Luke’s initiative, in a way that’s meaningful to you.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Volunteer at St. Luke's
Become a volunteer at St. Luke’s Magic Valley or St. Luke’s Jerome and make a difference every day in the lives of others. As a volunteer in Twin Falls or Jerome, you’ll help make St. Luke’s a friendly, warm, and welcoming place for patients and their families. Whether it’s a happy event, like the birth of a new baby, or a stressful one, like a serious illness, you can touch the lives of others when they need you most. You’ll earn not only their trust, but the trust of our staff of care providers as well.
Everyone has something unique to offer. How about you?
