❤️ Look what our community accomplished.

Our donation drive for our friends in Spokane exceeded every expectation. From bottled water and non-perishable food to diapers, pet food, clothing, and other essential supplies, your generosity filled an entire vehicle to the roof and then some!

Today, these donations are on their way to help families impacted by the devastating fires.

To every person who stopped by with even a single item: thank you. Your kindness reminds us that when our neighbors are hurting, this community shows up.

We are so grateful to everyone who donated, shared our posts, and helped make this possible. Together, we’ve shown that compassion travels far beyond county lines. ❤️
