Join us for the Junior League of Spokane's 16th annual Touch-a-Truck event!

Touch-a-Truck provides a unique opportunity for children to explore vehicles of all types including, emergency, utility, construction, transportation, and just plain cool – all in one place! Children will be allowed to touch their favorite vehicles, get behind the wheel, and meet the people who help to build, protect, and serve our community.

The proceeds from this event help to sustain our organization’s mission, train women to serve Spokane, and impact our community by improving access to basic needs.
