Northwest Wildfire Response — 2026
As fires continue to impact Spokane and surrounding communities, many other communities across Upper Columbia Conference face similar devastating loss. People in Chelan, Inchelium, Athena, White Swan, and others have lost homes, possessions, and a sense of security. During times like these, the church has an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
UCC Adventist Community Services is working alongside local churches, community partners, and emergency response agencies to care for those affected. Your generosity will help provide practical assistance to individuals and families facing both immediate needs and the long road to recovery.
Every gift will be used to support disaster response efforts, including emergency assistance, cleanup, and recovery. Needs do not end when the fires are extinguished—they continue for months and often years. Together, we can walk alongside our neighbors for as long as they need us.
Thank you for partnering with us to bring hope, healing, and the love of Christ to those facing unimaginable loss.
