City employees help sort 3,000 lbs of potatoes for Salvation Army Nampa distribution
For over 20 years, a small group of City of Nampa employees (this year from the Nampa Fire, Code Compliance, Mayor and Parks departments) have been getting together to help bag potatoes provided by Simplot which will then get re-distributed to 500-600 families through the Salvation Army in Nampa. We are extremely #NampaProud of those who have been quietly helping our community behind the scenes. A special shout out to Brent Hoskins with the Nampa Fire District for his efforts to make this happen!
Recycle Your Live Christmas Tree Starting December 26
The City of Nampa will accept Christmas trees for recycling between Sunday, December 26, 2021 through Saturday, January 15, 2022. Trees may be dropped off at Kohlerlawn Cemetery, located at 76 6th Street North, Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 
Residents are asked to follow directional signs on Weamer Lane for the drop-off location at the compost site within the cemetery. Staff are available to answer questions regarding the drop-off location at the cemetery office or by calling 208-468-5898 prior to drop-off. Due to Kohlerlawn Cemetery funeral service schedules, residents are asked to only leave trees at the dedicated drop-off site and not at the cemetery office or cemetery shop. Trees must be free of stands, lights, ornaments, tinsel and other objects. The trees will be mulched and used throughout Nampa on walking paths and in tree wells.
We have several job openings in the City of Nampa!

Nampa Chamber organizes first "Wreaths Across America" event at Kohlerlawn Cemetery
Saturday a first happened in Nampa — the Nampa Chamber of Commerce and Daughters of American Revolution helped organize “Wreaths Across America” for Nampa where wreaths were purchased to lay on a veteran’s grave. The community’s overwhelming support made it possible for 569 veterans to be honored at Kohlerlawn Cemetery. It’s quite the sight to see…if you get a chance, please take a moment to drive there. We appreciate everyone who donated wreaths for this inaugural event and for all the Nampa Chamber does in our community.
