What a week.

For the past several days, much of my thought process revolved around one pretty simple question: How do we take care of the men and women who are taking care of our community?

With the fires impacting Spokane, so many of our officers and staff have been working incredibly long hours. My goal has been to make sure, as much as possible, they didn’t have to worry about where their next meal was coming from or whether there would be something cold to drink.

That turned into organizing 3–4 meals a day, hydration, snacks, coffee and whatever else we could get into the hands of our people. And there is absolutely no way I could have done it alone.

Our community showed up. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to Old European, Med-Tech Cleaners, World Central Kitchen, Remi’s Cafe, Kalico Kitchen, Outlaw BBQ, Jackson St. Tavern, Fairmount Memorial, RESCU, Down River Golf Course, Jimmy John’s, Caruso’s, The Salvation Army, Valley Real Life Church, Awaken Church, Natalie Poulson,Shadle Starbucks, and several Spokane families, officers’ families,chap Jen Singley, Chap Kelli Rizzi, Chaplain Sandy, Chaplain Sue Strang, Chap Todd LaRoche, Chap Robert Schlosser, Manny Rojas, chaplain Craig Swanby, Chaplain Sandy Alderson, Chap Brian Mack, and so many others who stepped in and said, “How can we help?”

I know I have probably forgotten someone, and if I did, please forgive me. If you know someone who helped make this happen, tag them in this post so they know how appreciated they are.

I’m also incredibly thankful for our SPD chaplains who stepped up—taking calls, delivering meals to the command post and helping make sure our officers were cared for while I was running in a hundred different directions.

And to my chaplain friends from around the country who have texted, called, prayed and checked on me: your encouragement has meant more than you know.

But most of all, to the men and women I have the privilege of serving—thank you. Even exhausted and working long hours, you have been incredibly gracious and appreciative of every meal, every drink and every small act of support.

This week reminded me again that chaplaincy isn’t always about having the right words. Sometimes it’s a sandwich, or a cold bottle of water. Sometimes it’s showing up at a command post, and a laugh on the side of the road.

And sometimes it’s simply making sure people know:

You’re seen. You’re appreciated. And somebody is here.

It has been a week of service, but also a week of deepened relationships with officers and staff that I won’t soon forget.

And a special shout-out to Chaplain Amy Ballard, who stepped up as the point person today so I could finally take my first day off in 12 days. Thank you, Amy. ❤️

I say it all the time, but weeks like this remind me why:

I love what I get to do. I love these people.

Tired body.
Full heart. ❤️

Here’s the chaplaincy’s friends Aaron Riddle and Lisa Riddle the owner operators of MedTech Cleaners who also provided a meal to feed our officers! We can’t thank them enough and so many others. I’ll do my best to give proper credit on another post! Spokane continues to be a very generous community!
Thanks Spokane

Good morning ☀️ one of the issues that we’re having right now is getting local organizations and charities that want to help victims connected to the people that need their help. So many supplies have been gathered and we need help getting them distributed to people that could use them. Natalie Poulson is coordinating some of these efforts! Let’s network together!
