Everybody Counts: Donations help our most vulnerable population
Posted on December 19, 2017 at 6:00 am
Every January, the City of Spokane performs a community-wide, one-day count of the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population as part of the Everybody Counts Campaign. The city’s outreach team also distributes much needed supplies and items to this most vulnerable population in our community.
In support of the Everybody Counts Donation Drive project, Spokane County Library District is accepting donations for distribution during the campaign.
