LHM Charities helped children in Idaho improve their social and emotional health by donating to Walkin' the Talk, an organization that focuses on teaching individual responsibility and decision-making skills to youth. Funding was also provided to Idaho Diabetes Youth Programs/Camp Hodia. At Camp Hodia, youth learn to develop self reliance and coping skills that help them address the unique challenges faced by children with diabetes.

A donation from LHM Charities to the Assistance League of Boise helped provide school supplies to Ada County children in need. Funding for the Boise Public Schools Education Foundation went toward purchasing science equipment and supplies to aid limited-English speaking students.

LHM Charities contributed to Girls on the Run, a nonprofit that develops physical, social and emotional health in preteen girls. A donation to Ride2Read went toward the Bells for Books bookmobile, which serves students who attend schools that have no library. Western Idaho Community Action Partnership was granted funding for its Head Start preschool program, and Ride for Joy, an organization that provides therapeutic riding lessons to children with mental or physical disabilities, also received assistance.

Learning Lab, an agency that enhances literacy in under-educated families, received funding for its children?s programs. Anne Heilman, executive director at Learning Lab, wrote the following, "It means the world to us and our students that you believe in what we do and have chosen to contribute to our work." Other donation recipients include Boise Leadership Academy and the Suicide Prevention Action Network.
