Do YOU or someone you know have any prom-type dresses at home, gathering dust in a closet, never to be worn again? WE KNOW YOU DO!!

Tomorrow at 12:00pm at the Colfax Pantry, ATVP (Alternatives to Violence on the Palouse) and SUPER COLFAX are hosting a FREE PROM DRESS event for high schoolers!!

If you are able to donate a dress or two, please drop them off at the Council on Aging office, OR at the Colfax Pantry tomorrow between 10am and 12pm. They will go to a great cause and make someone very happy!!!

LaCrosse had their grand RE opening of our senior meal today at the school! We had senior students helping out, an awesome meal of salad, bread, and tortilla soup (yummy!!!) and free groceries to take home for those who wanted them. Join us for our next meal in March-date TBD. Stay tuned!

Due to the snow, our senior meal in Pullman is cancelled today. Sorry about that! Please share with anyone who might normally attend.

See you on Tuesday!

We are SO happy to see how well our new 'food pantry' at LaCrosse Schools is going! Since the local pantry closed (hopefully, temporarily) COA has brought food up to the schools for the students to 'shop' and take home to their families! Based on these comments, it looks like it's a hit!
