IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI)– Broulim’s in Ammon has raised over $37,000 and presented a check to the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission.
“Broulim’s is a very community-organized corporation. They really like to give back to the community,” said Kelly Allen, Store assistant director, at the Ammon Broulim’s. “This is just one little piece of goodness we can give back is to help feed the homeless and the hungry and all the things that Broulim’s does.
