One act of kindness can change everything.

Right now, someone in our community is going through something you may know nothing about. If you know their story, tell us. This Christmas, Peterson Chevrolet in Boise and The Good Network want to give someone in the Treasure Valley a holiday they won't forget.

Two ways to nominate

Fill out the nomination form

Tell us who they are, why you're nominating them and how a little extra kindness could help this holiday season. You'll be asked for your contact info so we can follow up.

Nominating yourself or your family? That's welcome. On the form, choose "Other" for relationship and enter "Self."

Open the nomination form

Tell their story in a Reel

Create a Facebook or Instagram Reel about someone who deserves to be recognized or could use a helping hand. Tag or collab The Good Network and Peterson Chevrolet so we can find your video and hear their story.

It doesn't need to be polished. Sometimes the most powerful stories are simply people speaking from the heart.

Please get permission before sharing someone's personal circumstances publicly, especially when children are involved. If the story is private, use the form instead.

Who to nominate

Someone in the Treasure Valley who could use a little extra support

  • A parent working multiple jobs to provide for their family
  • A grandparent raising their grandchildren
  • A veteran who served and could use some support
  • A family facing an unexpected medical diagnosis
  • Someone who is always helping others but rarely receives help

Not because we're looking for the saddest story, but because we believe that sometimes, all it takes is one community coming together.

Questions

Any individual or family in the Treasure Valley who could use some extra support this holiday season.

Yes. If you or your family could use some extra support this season, you're welcome to tell your own story. On the form, choose “Other” for relationship and enter “Self.”

Nominations are open November 1 through November 20, 2026.

Every gift is different. We choose gifts after hearing each person's story, which is why the form asks how we can make their holidays more special.
No. Every nomination is reviewed, and selected individuals or families are contacted privately.
Only with their permission. Recipients sign a separate media release before any filming.
