Our board member, Dr. Lori Hunt, was just named Acting Provost for the Community Colleges of Spokane. And our team member, Dale Briese, was awarded the 'International Cleve Jones HIV-AIDS Leadership Award.' Recipients of the award are organizations, agencies, individuals, and leaders in our continuing fight against HIV-AIDS.

The holiday season is here We are excited to be back in person for the Christmas Bureau and to be participating in the Tree of Sharing. Our generous community makes our holiday outreach successful and we need your time and talent to help with these outreach activities. One hour or five hours makes a huge impact on bringing holiday cheer to those we serve. If you are interested in helping please email volunteercoordinator@voaspokane.org

Making progress in Veteran services Spokane County United Way shared that our community has reduced Veteran Homelessness by 17.5%!
