Gabriel’s Challenge – November 14
Learning Visit to Columbia Valley Recovery Center
Join Gabriel’s Challenge and community partners for a day of learning and connection at the Columbia Valley Recovery Center—a model of compassion and coordination built in response to tragedy. The Center represents a powerful example of Public and Private community partnership and innovation. Through a bipartisan effort, the community raised $42 million to build the Center, with residents contributing additional funds to fill what grants could not—a testament to shared leadership between people and public systems.
Together, we’ll explore how their community strengthened care, aligned around hope, and built a continuum that truly meets people where they are. We’ll reflect on how Spokane can adapt these lessons using the resources we already have.
Lunch is included; space is limited. Priority registration is reserved for No Wrong Door Summit attendees and members of the Safe and Healthy Spokane Task Force.
