How You Can Help Today

Give what a family may need to begin again.

Food, water, clothing, linens, diapers, children’s items, household goods, furniture, gift cards, financial contributions and volunteer time can all make a meaningful difference.

When everything changes in minutes, community matters.

The recent wildfires have brought unimaginable loss to families throughout our region. Tens of thousands of residents have faced evacuation, hundreds of structures have been damaged or destroyed, and many people have returned to find that their homes, vehicles and belongings are gone.

Behind every statistic is a family whose life changed in a matter of minutes. Some escaped with little more than the clothes they were wearing. Others are trying to replace everyday necessities while navigating insurance claims, temporary housing, medical needs, transportation challenges and the emotional weight of an uncertain future.

Our hearts are with every person affected, as well as the firefighters, first responders, volunteers, medical professionals, shelter workers and neighbors who have stepped forward during this crisis.

“When our neighbors are hurting, we have a responsibility to help.”

At Spokane Hyundai, giving back to the community is not simply something we talk about. It is part of who we are and what we believe a local business should do. That is why we are proud to support WHEN and its Cleone’s Closet Food Pantry and Resource Center as they respond to the immediate and ongoing needs created by these devastating fires.

WHEN is providing critical help right now.

It provides education, crisis assistance, healing programs, supportive services and practical resources for women, men and children affected by abuse, violence, trauma, food insecurity and other serious hardships.

During the current wildfire crisis, WHEN and its volunteers are:
Distributing clothing, bedding and linens
Delivering food, drinking water and essential supplies
Transporting people who have lost vehicles to critical medical appointments
Helping individuals and families evacuate when required
Connecting displaced residents with additional community resources and support
Support goes beyond supplies. A traumatic event of this magnitude can cause tremendous stress, grief, fear, anxiety and emotional exhaustion long after the flames are extinguished. Families may be grieving their homes and belongings while simultaneously making urgent decisions about shelter, employment, transportation, childcare, medical care and rebuilding. Sometimes people need clothing, food or transportation; sometimes they need someone who will listen without judgment, help them understand available resources and remind them that they do not have to navigate the next steps alone.
For Those Directly Affected

Limited transportation assistance

Some residents have lost vehicles or are temporarily without reliable transportation because of the fires. When a service-loaner vehicle is available, Spokane Hyundai will do its best to provide one or two days of transportation assistance for essential needs such as medical appointments, obtaining supplies, meeting with an insurance provider or other critical responsibilities.

Assistance is subject to vehicle availability, insurance requirements, a valid driver’s license and standard eligibility requirements. Requests are coordinated first-come, first-served. Spokane Hyundai may not be able to accommodate every request, but each situation will be considered compassionately and help provided whenever reasonably possible.

Email is the best way to request assistance.

The Weeks and Months Ahead

Recovery will take time. Our support should too.

Recovery from a wildfire does not happen in a day or a week. For many families, the road ahead will be long. The most meaningful support will come not only during the immediate emergency, but also in the weeks and months that follow.

This is when community matters most.

Please join Spokane Hyundai in supporting WHEN and Cleone’s Closet. Donate what you can, volunteer your time, share this information, or reach out to someone who may be struggling. No single person or organization can meet every need, but together we can provide food, clothing, transportation, comfort, dignity and hope.

Together, We Can Help Our Neighbors Begin Again

In times of tragedy, our community’s greatest strength is one another. Spokane Hyundai is honored to stand beside WHEN, Cleone’s Closet and every neighbor working to help those affected by these devastating fires.
