We may be a neighborhood center, but we know our community doesn't stop at our doors. 💙 A wildfire doesn't check zip codes, and neither does community. We've pulled together every resource we could find so far — shelter, food, pet care, financial help, mental health support, and more — into one guide for anyone impacted, anywhere in the Spokane area. If we're missing something, let us know. We're in this together.
