We’ve heard you loud and clear . “Okay, but WHERE exactly is Tacos y Tequila?!” 😂

Thank you for voting yes for buses, and for showing the multimillionaires that they can’t buy votes! Here’s to 20 more years of funding great public transit! 🥳

We are so PROUD of our community showing up last night with $5,000 and a pride-mobile full of supplies!! They are gathering bottled water/gatorade, non-perishable food/snacks (easy to prepare), t-shirts, underwear & socks (unused), blankets, sheets, pillows, toilet paper, wipes/baby wipes, and spray bottles that will be delivered to the Colville and Spokane Reservations. If you can't make it tomorrow they are taking some donations at Hillyard Bicycle today until 5pm.

Thrive Center Spokane has rooms available for families displaced by the fires.

You do not need to be a refugee or an immigrant. You do not need a referral. You do not need to prove income. If the fires took your housing, or you can't get back home because of them, you're eligible.

Our current residents aren't going anywhere to make this happen. They're refugee and immigrant families who lost their own homes to war and disaster, and many of them have lived through some version of this week. There's room for both. That's what a 153-room building is for.

Rooms are $40/night for a single and $65/night for a suite that sleeps 3–7, the cost of keeping the building open. Thrive is a nonprofit, and this is not a fundraiser. If you can't pay, say so on the form. You still get a room, and our staff will help you find emergency assistance.

Private bath, laundry, wifi, and parking.

Fill out the form and our staff will call within 72 hours:

Please share this. The person who needs it may not be the person who follows us.
