Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery celebrates a record breaking 30th year

The Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery, a local non-profit organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect in our community by keeping kids safe and strengthening families, is celebrating a record-breaking 30th year. In 2017, 5,619 little ones were provided safe loving care by Nursery staff and volunteers, (an astonishing 353 more children than the prior record breaking year!). While the Nursery takes a moment to celebrate this huge success, they know that there are still thousands more children and families who need help. Because of this need, the Nursery is also busy fundraising, designing, creating and implementing change which will allow them to move to their new home in the coming years to care for even more children and families in our community.

The Camp Fire Candy Sale is just around the corner!

Camp Fire Inland Northwest's annual Candy Sale takes place starting January 27 through February 25. Camp Fire Kids ages pre-kindergarten through high school will hit neighborhoods and store fronts in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, hoping for sweet success.

While the candy sale only runs for a short time each year, the children learn lessons that last a lifetime. Youth learn life-skills such as confidence, integrity, persistence, goal setting, money management and personal responsibility. These skills enable them to become successful adults and community-minded leaders. They also earn their way to attend summer camp and other experiences.

Candy Sale product choices include the famous chocolate mint patties, caramel almond clusters, Almond Roca, P'Nuttles toffee peanuts and Camp Snax trail mix. Each package is $6. Proceeds from the sale support Camp Fire's youth programs, and more importantly, give kids the opportunity to attend summer camp at Camp Dart-Lo in Spokane or Camp Sweyolakan on Lake Coeur d'Alene. For many kids, summer camp is the best week of summer, and Camp Fire believes all kids should have the opportunity to attend.

You can find Camp Fire sellers at Rosauer's, Super 1 Foods, Yoke's, Walgreens, Fred Meyer, Kmart and select area Wal-Mart stores in the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene areas.

For additional information on local Camp Fire programs, visit www.campfireinc.org.
