SPOKANE, Wash. — Greater Spokane Churches is launching a coordinated response to help fire survivors with immediate and long-term recovery needs.
United in Crisis – Greater Spokane will operate a Disaster Assistance Center at Family of Faith Community Church, 1504 W. Grace Ave. Trained volunteers will provide emotional and spiritual support, emergency financial assistance, and other disaster-relief services.
The center will be open:
Friday, Aug. 21Saturday, Aug. 22Sunday, Aug. 23Monday, Aug. 24Tuesday, Aug. 25
Survivors must register and schedule an appointment at https://uicgs.org/survivor-resources/. Attendees should bring a current form of identification and a recent bill with their name on it.
“The first days after a disaster bring urgent needs, but recovery continues long after the immediate crisis has passed,” said Daniel Geraci, CEO of United in Crisis. “By bringing churches and trained volunteers together, we can help survivors address immediate challenges and know they will not have to navigate the recovery process alone.”
United in Crisis – Greater Spokane is also preparing to launch the Crisis Relief Shepherd Program, which pairs trained volunteers with individuals and families for consistent support throughout recovery. Community members can support this work by donating at www.uicgs.org/give/ and selecting the Spokane Complex Fires Relief Fund.
