. . .

What do you get when you add: 19 + a bird, a duck and a music hall together?

This year, Curtis and Jodi Stigers are teaming up with The Duck Club to bring Interfaith Sanctuary’s beloved Holiday Event to Idaho’s newest musical hub, Treefort Music Hall. On Sunday, December 15th, and Monday, December 16th, the Treefort stage will come alive with some of our community’s most talented local artists, gathering once again to share music, humor, hope, and inspiration with our loyal Xtreme and Interfaith supporters!

This season, Xtreme is also joining forces with Avenues for Hope for an Xtreme season of fundraising. Avenue for Hope donors will have a chance to win tickets to both nights of the Xtreme when they sponsor a night, a week, a month, or even a year of shelter. Our goal this year is to reach 15,000 sponsored nights of shelter.

Why sponsor a night of shelter?

 Because every night of shelter brings a new day full of possibilities.

At Interfaith Sanctuary, every evening offers more than just a safe place to sleep; it’s a reset, a chance to pause, breathe, and prepare for the day ahead. With each morning, guests wake up with renewed hope, support from compassionate staff, and access to resources that can change the trajectory of their lives. Interfaith Sanctuary isn’t just about providing a bed—it’s about creating pathways to stability and independence. By connecting individuals with case management, employment services, life skills workshops, and mental health support, Interfaith Sanctuary serves as a bridge between today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities. Each night spent here builds a stronger foundation for guests, meeting their needs with care and celebrating every small victory along the way. At Interfaith Sanctuary, every night opens doors to a brighter, more hopeful day.

Help us reach our goal of 15,000 sponsored nights of shelter by the end of the year to support the ongoing, day-and-night work at Interfaith Sanctuary.
