Thank you Adreana!

Special shout out to Adreana! her dedication, leadership, and genuine care for both staff and members have made a lasting impact on everyone who walks through the doors of the café. You consistently lead with compassion, patience, and understanding, creating an environment where people feel welcomed, valued, and supported regardless of where they are in their journey. Your hard work often happens behind the scenes, but the impact of your efforts is felt every single day. The café, its members, and the community are better because of your dedication and heart for helping others. You are truly appreciated, and your work does not go unnoticed.

Mashelya Tijerina, Community Support Specialist- Pasco

Marixza is Uplifting Others

Marixza consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our subcontractors feel seen, supported, and understood. She is always cheering them on and doing what she can to help them succeed. Her hard work and positive attitude make a real difference, not just in the outcomes, but in the way people feel along the way. Marixza is good at what she does and puts her heart into the work.

Shout Out From:
Abril Torres, Family Services Manager

Shawna Brings Thoughtfulness to my World

Shawna is always enthusiastic to pitch in and go the extra mile. She arrives early to set-up for meetings and events. She stays late to clean up and create a clean and inviting work space for everyone. She is always thinking of others. This week she brought a full lunch for a small group meeting and shared with an open invite to everyone in the office.

Shout Out From: Lorri Hope, Early Learning Coach

Angie Shines Bright!

Angie has gone above and beyond to get the Recovery Café in Newport up and running. She’s worked tirelessly, often sacrificing personal time and energy to ensure our space is welcoming, functional, and supportive for our community. Her leadership has been the backbone of our progress.

Shout Out From: David Budde, Recovery Cafe Associate

Madi Makes Community

Madi creates the community that we rely on within the organization.  She is constantly seeking new ways to make sure each program is reaching every potential client and closes the gap in communication between all inter-agency groups. She planned and organized the incredible event Hands Across Spokane while helping each department with their own individual events at the same time.  I always wonder where she finds the time and the magic.

Shout Out From: Michelle Seefried, ECEAP Site Manager
