“Our Troops, Our Families” began as a City of Boise program to support military families during the year-long deployment of the Idaho Army National Guard's 116th Cavalry Brigade to Iraq in 2010-11. Boise Mayor David H. Bieter announced the creation of “Our Troops, Our Families” on September 23, 2010. At that event, Mayor Bieter also signed the Community Covenant to formally commit Boise’s strong support for its soldiers and their families.
The program continues to provide military families a variety of free family activities.
