Back in 2024, we started working to secure an Idaho Department of Commerce Block Grant to make much-needed repairs and upgrades to the Cambridge Midvale Goodrich Senior Center. These include HVAC and electrical work, painting, flooring, windows and doors, plus a commercial refrigerator and dishwasher.
In 2025, funding was put on hold, and the process had to stop. Now in 2026, we’ve been notified that funding for this type of grant is available again. The City of Cambridge is sponsoring Cambridge Senior Citizens, Inc., AKA Cambridge Midvale Goodrich Senior Center, in applying for this grant—and that’s where you come in.
We’re asking for short letters of support from our community. Nothing fancy or formal is needed. Just share why the senior center matters to you, how it’s helped you or your family, or a personal story about what the center means to our community. Letters can be addressed to: Idaho Department of Commerce, 700 West State Street, Boise, ID 83702. You can: Drop them off at the Senior Center, 40 N. Superior St., Mail them to Sandra McKee, City Clerk/Treasurer, P.O. Box 220, Cambridge, ID 83610, Or email them to cityclerk@cambridge.id.gov. If you can get your letter to us by February 15, 2026, that would be perfect. Thank you for supporting your senior center—we truly appreciate it.
