The City of Spokane will celebrate National Volunteer Month with the return of Spokane Gives, a city-wide campaign held throughout the month of April, inviting residents to give their time, talents, and resources in support of local non-profits.
Since 2014, Spokane Gives has engaged more than 100,000 volunteers, connecting them with service projects and volunteer opportunities across the region.
This year, the City of Spokane is partnering with LaunchNW to utilize the VolunteerSpokane.org platform, making it easier than ever for community members to find and sign up for projects. Spokane Gives offers a wide range of opportunities designed to fit different schedules, abilities, and interests.
In addition to community participation, City employees will be actively engaged throughout April, participating in park and river cleanups, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, supporting Feed Spokane, and partnering with Spokane Arts.
The City of Spokane is also celebrating the return of the Mayor’s Day of Recognition for National Service on Friday, April 10. In partnership with NEWESD 101, AmeriCorps, and Habitat for Humanity, around 40 volunteers will be painting and landscaping at a new Habitat home in the Bemiss neighborhood.
“Volunteerism is a clear expression of who we are as a city: people showing up for one another and being a part of something bigger than themselves. The City of Spokane was proud to bring Spokane Gives back internally last year, and we are even more excited to expand it community-wide this year,” Mayor Lisa Brown said. “Our hope is that people across Spokane will join us in giving back to the organizations they care about most.”
