One such program is Women’s Hearth, which operates a day center in downtown Spokane to address the immediate needs of homeless and low-income women. Here, women find recovery support, participate in art activities and can access hygiene supplies and take showers in a safe environment. On Monday afternoon, please join CIC staff and your fellow CMPs as we volunteer our time to clean and organize the center, assisting a worthy organization with limited staff and resources as they continue to service the community. Email CIChq@conventionindustry.org to sign-up in advance or stop by the Registration Desk on site.
We will also be accepting donations to the center throughout the conference. Items of need include: hygiene items (travel size), socks, washcloths, thumb drives, craft supplies and reusable tote bags. A special request was made for bath towels, which are used both at the facility and during outdoor activities for the children.
