Safety Net Inland NW

08/30/2026

🥹❤️ Spokane showed up in a BIG way for Safety Net!

We are incredibly grateful to Grocery Outlet (North Division) and our amazing community for making their Independence from Hunger Campaign such a success!

Because of your generosity throughout the month of July, Grocery Outlet presented Safety Net with an incredible $9,730 donation to help support foster youth as they navigate the critical transition out of foster care 🫶

We are especially grateful to the local businesses who stepped up during the campaign with donations and matching gifts that helped make this incredible total possible:

❤️ Maple Street Bistro: $750
❤️ Sando's: $250
❤️ Fresh & Foraged: $250

And there's even more impact behind this campaign! All of the bags purchased throughout July were donated to the Mead Food Bank, helping support local families in need.

This is what community looks like. Businesses supporting nonprofits, neighbors supporting neighbors, and people coming together to make sure those who need a little extra support are not forgotten.

To everyone who donated, purchased a bag, supported one of these amazing businesses, or helped spread the word, thank you! Your generosity helps us provide essential support to young people building stable, independent lives after foster care. ❤️

And a HUGE thank you to Grocery Outlet for choosing to make a difference in our community and for including Safety Net in this year's campaign! 🙏

We are incredibly grateful to NAC Architecture for hosting a donation drive in support of Safety Net! 💙

Thanks to the generosity of their team, our warehouse is now filled with essential items that will go directly to youth as they transition out of foster care.

Every blanket, kitchen item, cleaning supply, hygiene product, and household essential represents more than just a donation. It represents a community that cares, believes in our youth, and wants them to know they are not alone.

To everyone at NAC Architecture who donated, organized, and supported this drive, thank you. Your kindness and generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of the young people we serve. 🫶
