Transitions

At Transitions, much of our work happens behind thescenes as we walk alongside women as they move toward stability, healing, and independence. Because of that, it’s not always easy to see what this work looks like day to day.

That’s why the People Who Care Luncheon exists. This event is for anyone who wants to better understand how lasting change happens.Not just in theory, but in real lives.

That includes:
● individuals looking for a meaningful entry point
● those already engaged who want a deeper perspective
● community members who care about dignity, equity, and long-term impact

There is no cost to join us. Visit https://transitionsspokane.org/pwc/ and we look forward to welcoming you

Behind every table at the People Who Care Luncheon is someone who chose to make space for others.

A Table Captain’s role is simple, but meaningful:
– Invite a few guests
– Welcome them in
– Share the experience together

That’s it. No expectations from you or your guests. This is just an opportunity to gather, listen, and share in a powerful one-hour experience.

These tables are what shape the room. They’re what turn a gathering into a community. And they begin with someone who cared enough to extend the invitation.

Stronger Together for Spokane’s Women & Children 💚

At Transitions, we know that true community healing and stability take a village. That’s why we are so deeply grateful for incredible local partners like the Women & Children's Free Restaurant & Community Kitchen.

WCFR has been a beacon of dignity in Spokane, providing free, nutritious meals and essential food resources to women and children in a safe, welcoming environment. Their heart for nourishing both body and spirit aligns so closely with our mission to end poverty and homelessness in our region.

When organizations lean on each other, our entire community lifts up. Thank you, WCFR, for the vital work you do every single day to make sure no woman or child in Spokane goes hungry.

When a woman walks through the doors of Women’s Hearth, she finds more than just immediate access to basic needs—she finds safety, community, and respect. 💜

We’re so grateful to The Inlander for highlighting the vital role Women’s Hearth plays in downtown Spokane, ensuring women experiencing homelessness and poverty have a welcoming space, essential resources, and connections to long-term stability.

One week left. Help us finish strong!

For decades, four communities of Catholic Sisters built and sustained Transitions, creating safe spaces for women and children in Spokane when no one else would. Now their numbers are declining, and it is our turn to carry their legacy forward.
This summer we launched our first endowment campaign. A permanent foundation for this work. And we have one week left.

We've raised $52,025 so far. Every dollar is being doubled by a $120,000 matching gift, but the match closes this Monday, August 31st.

We need:
5 Leadership gifts ($10,000)
5 Mid-Level gifts ($1,500)
A handful of Core and Broad Base gifts ($50–$300)

Every gift, at every level, helps us get there.
Give at: https://transitions.givecloud.co/fundraising/forms/KYELL8EW

They built it. We sustain it. Together, we carry this legacy forward.

⏳ One week. One chance to double your impact.

Our endowment matching gift closes August 31st, and every dollar given right now is matched.

We're 43% of the way to our goal. We need gifts of every size to finish strong, from $50 to $10,000.

This isn't a one-time gift. It's a permanent investment in the women and children Transitions serves for generations to come.

Give today: https://transitions.givecloud.co/fundraising/forms/KYELL8EW

Our anonymous donor is at it again! This month's community field trip took the women of the Hearth to experience the wonder of the Museum of Arts and Culture. As with their last trip to River Park Square, each adventure is fully covered—including travel, event passes, and lunch—giving these wonderful women a chance to explore, connect, and experience the best of Spokane.

We are deeply grateful for the donor support that makes these uplifting, joy-filled experiences possible. After all, you can’t truly be a part of a community if you don’t get to experience it.
