Food Donation Drive for Those Affected by the Spokane Complex Fire

Posted on August 4, 2026 at 12:05 pm

August Food Drive

All SCLD locations are collecting nonperishable food items throughout August for Second Harvest Inland Northwest to benefit the victims of the Spokane Complex Fire.

Beginning Tuesday, August 4, you can bring canned or packaged nonperishable food to your library to help. Look for the donation boxes inside all SCLD libraries.

We appreciate all residents in the greater Spokane area who are able to donate and assist our friends and neighbors who have been affected by this devastating fire.
