Did you know there’s a global day dedicated to giving back? It’s called Giving Tuesday and it’s celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (this year it’s Dec. 3). On this day, families, businesses, students and communities around the world come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
To honor this global movement, each of our departments chose a local non-profit that’s close to their hearts. Here are the organizations we'll be supporting:

- Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council: GSSAC promotes community-wide substance abuse/violence prevention and reduction strategies.
- Higher Ground Animal Sanctuary: Their mission is to rescue homeless animals or animals in need and offer a place of Refuge to peacefully live out their lives.
- Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation: This foundation provides resources and support to those with Parkinson's disease in our community.
- SCRAPS: This non-profit cares for 9,000 - 11,000 animals per year - that requires a lot of time, care, food, and shelter!
