The Spokane Valley Firefighters Local 876 labor union has distributed around 500 winter coats to children who's parent requested one

Your Spokane Valley Firefighters were able to distribute 192 brand-new winter coats to students who needed one at Trentwood, Trent, Otis Orchards, and East Farms elementary schools in the East Valley School District!

[Spokane Valley Firefighters Local 876 @SpokaneValleyFF]

Around 50 winter coats were distributed to kids who needed one at Millwood Kindergarten and West Valley Preschool in the West Valley School District!

[Spokane Valley Firefighters Local 876 @SpokaneValleyFF]

Of the 21,839 students in WVSD, CVSD, & EVSD for the 22-23 school year, 51% were classified as “low income” with 682 students classified as homeless. Many of these children have difficulty accessing other area winter coat programs who primarily focus on the City of Spokane.

📷 Help firefighters help local children! A $20 donation buys a winter coat for a child who needs one! 📷

Spokane Valley Firefighters Operation Warm is our labor union's nonprofit program that raises money to purchase winter coats for local elementary & middle school students.

[Spokane Valley Firefighters Local 876 @SpokaneValleyFF]

Donation bins for new, un-used winter coats are also in the lobby of fire stations in Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Millwood, and Otis Orchards. We respectfully do not accept used coats at this time.
