3. The Fires Aren’t Over. Neither Is the Need: As fires continue to impact Spokane and surrounding areas, many other communities across Upper Columbia Conference face similar devastating loss. During times like these, the church has an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Adventist Community Services is working alongside local churches, community partners, and emergency response agencies to care for those affected.
Every gift will be used to support disaster response efforts, including emergency assistance, cleanup, and recovery. Needs do not end when the fires are extinguished—they continue for months and often years. Together, we can walk alongside our neighbors for as long as they need us.
