Who We Are
We are an all-volunteer not-for-profit organization that seeks to help meet the urgent/acute needs of Spokane residents who are struggling financially.
Our Vision
A better everyday life for low-income households in the Spokane area.
Our Mission
Helping neighbors cope with temporary financial setbacks by guiding
them to free resources and delivering necessities.
We are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, licensed in Washington state and Spokane city. Our EIN is: 87-2966521. Our UBI is 604 817 205.
What We Do
Our donors and volunteers provide “necessities for our neighbors” in many ways.
We refer our neighbors to Spokane agencies and organizations that provide assistance with financial struggles (e.g., employment, food, clothing, housing, utilities, transportation). We do this primarily through our Facebook group called, Help Yourself!, which provides contact information for hundreds of resources for basic necessities.
When needs cannot be met by local agencies and organizations, our volunteers provide:
- Emergency food
- Hygiene items
We are seeking partners who are able to volunteer their time (e.g., make deliveries to homes), provide in-kind items (e.g., food, hygiene products), and/or make financial donations.
