Volunteer to Help Women and Children in Need at Conclave

Meetings and events have the potential to transform communities through meaningful service projects. So, at this year's Conclave, CIC is working with Transitions, an organization working to end poverty and homelessness for women and children in Spokane, to provide a memorable CSR activity for attendees. 

Transitions has five programs that offer assistance to women and their families by providing safety, support and teaching skills for success.  

One such program is Women’s Hearth, which operates a day center in downtown Spokane to address the immediate needs of homeless and low-income women. Here, women find recovery support, participate in art activities and can access hygiene supplies and take showers in a safe environment. On Monday afternoon, please join CIC staff and your fellow CMPs as we volunteer our time to clean and organize the center, assisting a worthy organization with limited staff and resources as they continue to service the community. Email CIChq@conventionindustry.org to sign-up in advance or stop by the Registration Desk on site. 

We will also be accepting donations to the center throughout the conference. Items of need include: hygiene items (travel size), socks, washcloths, thumb drives, craft supplies and reusable tote bags. A special request was made for bath towels, which are used both at the facility and during outdoor activities for the children.
