❤️🙏 COMMUNITY FIRE UPDATE🙏❤️
We have some good news to share this morning. The fires in some areas have been downgraded, and the family who stayed with us last night has been released to return home. ❤️
They were able to get some much-needed rest, have a good breakfast this morning, and because of the incredible generosity of our community they had everything they needed.
To everyone who showed up with food, water, clothing, bedding, toiletries, and so much more… Thank You! ❤️ You didn't hesitate. You simply saw a need and showed up. That is what community is all about, and it was beautiful to witness.
Thank you to the Incident Management Team from Northeast Washington. They are currently stationed at the school to help our fist responders. Red Cross is in the area, and the Incident Management Team is working to connect with them as needed.
Jackie is the best point of contact at the school. First responders can check in with her in the cafeteria, and she can direct them to food, water, showers, sleeping quarters, or help with anything else that is needed. First responders and the Incident Management Team are currently stationed at our High School... and at this time, everyone has what they need.
If circumstances change, please know our doors remain open.❤️ Our Elementary School will remain available for families should the need arise.
Please continue to keep everyone impacted by these fires in your thoughts. This is a scary and incredibly difficult thing for families and communities to go through, and although we are grateful things are looking better today, we know there is still work ahead.
To our first responders... Thank You! for the long hours, sacrifices, courage, and hard work you have given to protect our communities. 🚒❤️
And to our amazing community... Thank You! for reminding us once again what it means to take care of one another. When our neighbors needed us, you showed up without hesitation.
We are incredibly grateful. ❤️
Thank you all, stay safe, and blessings to everyone. 🙏❤️
