Palouse Cares began as a heartfelt vision in 2006 and has blossomed into a multi-community effort dedicated to the wellbeing of children on the Palouse. Historically, we organized door-to-door drives, but our approach has adapted to meet the needs of our community. We now focus on donation drives at our local grocery stores to source high-quality food and personal care items for our local food banks.
Palouse Cares is committed to fostering a community where every child has the resources they need to grow, learn, and flourish. Food insecurity affects 11-14% of children in Latah and Whitman counties. The compounding effects of the global pandemic and the subsequent surge in inflation have significantly exacerbated these challenges, placing an even greater burden on vulnerable families. Each donation gathered, and each food bank stocked, represents a direct investment in the well-being of our community’s future. Palouse Cares stands as a testament to the power of community support.
