STREET MUSIC WEEK AND VOICES OF HOPE – JUNE 12
STREET MUSIC WEEK
COVID-19 has changed the way we do things. Doug Clark and his team of volunteers who put on Street Music Week every year haven’t let the pandemic get in the way of raising money for Second Harvest—especially during this time of extraordinary need. With public health concerns in mind, Street Music Week went virtual for the weeklong 18th annual event that wraps up today. Thank you to all the local musicians and other entertainers who have helped make our virtual Street Music Week a success.
There’s still time to participate. To watch Street Music Week performances, or post your own, click here. Spokane’s own rock star, Myles Kennedy, recorded and shared a performance. Also, stay tuned for Peter Rivera, a living legend from the classic rock era who now makes his home in Spokane and is a longtime Street Music Week fan favorite.

VOICES OF HOPE
“We received our family’s first food donation today. It was way beyond anything I ever expected. It was so nice to not receive any judgment from the amazing volunteers. The amount of food… will be thoroughly enjoyed and used. I can’t thank you all enough!” -McKenzie, Kennewick

Food Sourcing Update – September 29
Nearly six months after the federal COVID-19 emergency was lifted, obtaining food continues to be extremely challenging. News stories and conversations with our fellow Feeding America food banks confirm that food sourcing difficulties are nationwide.
That’s why we are so fortunate to be able to access Feeding America’s Choice System to obtain a variety of quality, nutritious food.
How to Host a Fundraiser – September 22
Looking for a fun way to celebrate your birthday, company event or holiday? Hosting a fundraiser for Second Harvest is easy and makes an impact. You can raise funds online or host a food drive in person. We’ll give you the tools to get set up, share your event and start collecting. Every dollar donated makes a difference for neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
Serving Those Who Serve Our Country – September 15
Steve and his wife both retired from the Army, and he also spent time as a civil engineer in the Navy. His career has been a life of service to our country. Today, he is a member of the civilian workforce at Fairchild Air Force Base.
With economics the way they are today, Steve accesses Second Harvest Mobile Market free food distributions on base.
Naturally cheery, Steve manages a smile even when he explains “Times are hard.” Simultaneously, he proudly adds, “We have two kids, 13 and 14. They eat like crazy and are growing like mad.”
