PULLMAN, WA—Pullman Regional Hospital’s Women’s Leadership Guild invites the community to celebrate the impact of local giving at its annual Grant Award Celebration on Thursday, November 19, at 6 p.m. at the Hampton Inn of Pullman. Please RSVP at pullmanregional.org/wlg to attend this free event.
The Guild will recognize three regional nonprofit organizations with $2,000 grants each, totaling $6,000 in support of programs that improve the health and well-being of women and children throughout the region.
This year’s grant recipients, selected by Guild members, include:
-
Family Promise of the Palouse – Helping families experiencing homelessness access essential health care and basic necessities, including medical appointments, prescriptions, hygiene products and transportation. The funding will help remove barriers to care as families work toward stability and independence.
-
Two Rivers United Child Advocacy Center – Funding specialized training for forensic interviewers and family advocates who support children affected by abuse and their caregivers. The training will strengthen trauma-informed care, helping children find safety, hope and healing while supporting families through difficult circumstances.
-
Willow Center for Children’s Grief – Supporting Camp Erin, a free weekend bereavement camp that helps children and teens who have experienced the death of a loved one. The grant will help provide grief support programming and transportation, making this meaningful experience more accessible to families throughout the region.
“Behind every one of these organizations are people who believe that every child deserves to feel safe, every family deserves support, and every woman deserves the opportunity to thrive,” said Katie Van Wyngarden, Chair of the Women’s Leadership Guild. “What makes the Guild so special is seeing how our collective generosity can create meaningful change right here in our communities. These grants are about more than financial support. They are about giving hope, creating opportunity and reminding our neighbors that they are not alone.”
The community is invited to join Guild members and grant recipients for an evening of celebration, connection and recognition of the organizations making a difference for women and children across the region.
