Dear Friend,

This summer, families arrived at Partners Inland Northwest exhausted, overwhelmed and unsure of what came next.

Some had been forced from their homes by wildfires. Some had lost nearly everything.

Again and again, we heard:

“I had no idea Partners was here. I had no idea you could help us like this.”

Families cried when they realized they could leave with groceries, clothing, diapers, hygiene products and other essentials. Some arrived running on empty and left with cars full of necessities, and hope that tomorrow could be better.

Our community made that possible.

Today, another kind of pressure is building.

The cost of food and everyday necessities continues to strain household budgets. Fuel, transportation and production costs ripple all the way to the grocery aisle. For families already living on razor-thin margins, there is little room for the unexpected.

A car repair. A medical bill. Fewer hours at work.

It doesn't take much to turn a difficult month into a crisis.

These emergencies don't come with smoke in the sky or make the evening news. But at Partners INW, we see them every day.

Thousands of our neighbors turn to Partners each month for food, clothing, diapers, hygiene products and emergency assistance. We want to be ready for every family who walks through our doors and whatever our community faces next.

Will you help us prepare now?

The need in our community is growing.

Your gift today puts food and essentials into the hands of neighbors who need them now and helps Partners keep saying, “Yes. We can help.”

We can't know what tomorrow will bring.

But together, we can be ready for it.
