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

Gonzaga’s Dusty Stromer and Zilch: Teaming up to end hunger – March 29
Dusty Stromer understood from a young age that while his family had enough to eat, others in his circle were not so fortunate. Dusty had a courtside seat to food insecurity — he says that by age 10, he knew some of his friends came from households where food was not reliably available.
A freshman shooting guard on the men’s basketball team at Gonzaga University, Dusty recently got a close look at the fight against hunger by touring Second Harvest’s warehouse and helping to distribute free food through its Zilch program.
Grocery Rescue: Changing lives daily – March 22
Your visit to a local grocery store may seem like a routine, unimportant chore. That perfect strawberry, tomato or apple you select is made possible because different departments of your neighborhood store carefully maintain a standard for each product. But what happens when the banana is too green, or the strawberries are too ripe? That product is stranded and without rescue would find its way to the landfill. Thanks to stores partnering with Second Harvest’s Grocery Rescue program, that nutritious food is shared with partner agencies throughout the 26 counties in Eastern Washington and North Idaho served by Second Harvest.
