GIVING BACK TO THE SPOKANE COMMUNITY

Part of being a good steward is embracing and serving the community that supports us. We want to leave things better than we find them and help those that need it most in any way we can. From our yearly Day of Service to monetary donations, we give back to the areas that need to be served the most. Our charity group is made up of employees donating portions of their paychecks through our Give 5 Program that then goes directly to charities that focus on helping mainly women and children in need. See below for pictures, videos and information on the people we've given back to and the company that makes it possible.

Generation Alive works to develop the next generation of thinkers, leaders and doers to make the world a better place that we have made it.
