Become a Disaster Shelter Volunteer

With wildfire season starting earlier, lasting longer and spreading farther, more people are relying on the Red Cross for help. The need for compassionate volunteers in our community has never been greater.

Right now, the Red Cross has an urgent need to train new SHELTER volunteers.

These individuals help set-up, break down and support day-to-day activities within a shelter.
Ideal volunteers enjoy working as part of a team, have good communication skills and care about supporting clients' needs. Shelter volunteers create a safe, welcoming environment for people displaced by disasters—whether it’s greeting clients, assisting with registration, serving meals, or providing information and support.

No experience needed! Free training (lunch included) will be provided at this "Shelter Worker Boot Camp" that will prepare you to start supporting local disaster activity right away. Participants must be 18+. Walk-ins welcome, no registration required.

We are the American Red Cross. Sleeves up. Hearts open. All in.

During the month of August the Liberty Gallery features paintings by artist Lauren Urlacher of her favorite flower, the dahlia. Her hyper-realistic floral paintings invite viewers into a tranquil moment of stillness. In a fast-paced world, Lauren’s art offers a calming pause, encouraging mindfulness through close observation of nature’s intricate details. Her August show titled “Dahlia Days of Summer” celebrates the peak season of dahlias in Spokane when we see the biggest and best of these blooms.

Stop by the Historic Liberty Building to meet the artist on August 1st from 5-8:30 pm.

Katie Frey graduated from Walla Walla University with an English and Art degree and worked as a teacher for years before deciding to step into begin art as a full time career. She primarily paints landscapes and animals as her artwork is inspired by her time spent in nature. She also finds inspiration in the textures and patterns of rocks & plants, and both the ease & energy of wild animals. Katie wants her watercolors to look as spontaneous and joyful as it feels when she creates them.

Constants explores the shifting balance between what holds steady and what is always in flux. Using a combination of painting and collaged imagery, I reflect on how our lives are shaped by both enduring constants and the ever-changing variables of perception, experience, and the shifting social, political, and natural landscapes we inhabit. These layered mixed-media paintings give form to the complexities inherent in being alive, using a blend of representation and abstraction to explore the tension between the known and the mysterious, the material and the immaterial, and the constant interplay between the everyday and the cosmic.
