🌱 Do you grow your own food? If you have more than you need, consider donating your extra produce to the Idaho Foodbank! It’s a simple way to give back and help support local families facing food insecurity. Connect with a local food distribution site to find out how to donate.

🏛️ You can't lead a community without understanding its story.

Last week, Leadership Class 12 spent the day exploring the arts, history, and culture that make the Lewis-Clark Valley such a unique place to call home.

From the people and traditions that shaped our region to the organizations and cultural experiences that continue to bring us together, the day offered a deeper appreciation for the community we are part of.

Ryann Hedrick, Marketing Director at Happy Day Restaurants and a Leadership Class 11 graduate, helped plan this year's experience. Here's what she had to say:

"𝑊𝑒'𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝘩𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑖𝑔𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝘩𝑎𝑛 𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑠, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑤𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑎𝑠 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦."

Leadership is about more than preparing for the future. It's about understanding where we came from, appreciating what makes our Valley special, and building on that foundation for generations to come.

🤝 A Valley of One.

🎄 Harvested from the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, Idaho’s U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree represents more than a holiday tradition. It’s a reminder of the pride, people, and communities that bring us together.

Thank you to Idaho Forest Group for hosting an incredible celebration and bringing our Valley together. We spotted Mark Losh building connections and celebrating alongside the many community members who made this event so special.

When our community comes together, we all shine brighter. ❤️

Thank you Forge Design Studio for capturing this memory.

Our local businesses and community play an important role in supporting nonprofits that make a difference across the LC Valley. As Hy’D Andrews of the Idaho Food Bank puts it, “No shame in the game. If you can’t pay your meds, pay your meds and then go to a pantry to get food.”
