Newby-ginnings of North Idaho, Inc. was created in October 2013 in honor and memory of SPC Nicholas Newby who was killed in action in Baghdad, Iraq on July 7, 2011. Our mission is to provide resources, referrals and essential personal and household items to Veterans, Active Military and their families as well as families of our fallen heroes (Gold Star families) at absolutely no cost to them. All that is required is proof of military service, past or present, for the client or a household family member. We are able to do this with nothing but donations and fundraisers because no money ever exchanges hands. There are no price tags, and we have no cash register! They are able to shop for free for what they need with no income eligibility requirements or any kind of proof of need necessary.
