Rotary's partner, Disaster Aid USA, is deploying volunteers to support the Spokane community impacted by wildfires.
Your time, skills, and compassion can make a real difference when it matters most. We're looking for volunteers to help sift ashes, sort debris, and perform general property clean-up.
To sign up, please email Julie Kelsey at julie@juliekelsey.com to be added to the volunteer list for future opportunities. We are only just beginning this important recovery work.
Together, we will Create Lasting Impact.
Spokane County Wildfire Fund
Spokane County wildfires have devastated our community, destroying hundreds of homes and forcing tens of thousands of our neighbors to evacuate. The Spokane County Wildfire Fund, administered by Rotary Community Service, Inc. (the nonprofit arm of Spokane Rotary Club 21), delivers fast, flexible financial support directly to those affected.
Every dollar you give goes straight to rapid, on-the-ground relief, helping families with immediate needs and supporting long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts in the months ahead.
Your donation today helps a neighbor start rebuilding tomorrow.
