We would like to congratulate Priest Lake Food Bank for winning our Spring 2026 grant of $11,000!!! With the support of 101 Women Sandpoint, Priest Lake Food Bank will be able to install a sewer pressure line and a gravity sewer line to the building at their new site in Priest Lake. A permanent, purpose-built facility is essential to expanding their capacity and ensuring reliable year-round service to food-insecure neighbors. Currently, they share a very small space with a local thrift store. Sewer infrastructure is the critical first utility that must be in place before the Phase 1 garage/storage building can be built in Fall 2026. This grant will make the entire vision possible.

In addition, we found out at the photo shoot that another generous donor will match our $11,000 grant! So we helped raise $22,000 for the "guts" of their new facility!

Present for the award from the Priest Lake Food Bank were; Joan Andrews-Director, Richard Gumaer-President and Mary Gumaer-Secretary. 101 Women Board Members present were; Vicki Reich (President), Julie Jurenka, Liz Koster, and Mary Catherine Role. Also present from 101 Women were; Anita Porter, Debbie Love and Debbie Dickerson.

As usual, ALL three presentations by the non-profit finalists were compelling and informative and it is always a hard choice! Having just one winner of the $11,000 grant allows for a very large impact to the winning organization.

If you would like to know more about our three finalists and want to contribute more than our grant donation, please refer to their websites below to donate money, other items, or volunteer. All three applicants have offered to give tours of their facilities to 101 Women members.
