Second Harvest's mission is made possible by the hard work and dedication of the good people in the agriculture and food industry, who generously donate 90% – yes, 90% – of the 35 million pounds of food we distribute each year. 

A Kennewick-based nonprofit with a long history in the Tri-Cities has changed its name to better reflect its mission.

A new program aimed at offering training to local nonprofit board members is available through Three Rivers Community Foundation.

Two executive directors of nonprofits — one to support refugees and immigrants, and the other kids — received Kennewick’s highest honors.

"I know what it’s like, what the families are going through. (Helping them get the grant) is something that I’m very proud I was able to accomplish."

The mission’s existing shelter for women and children is on North Second Avenue in Pasco. It’s in a building that’s more than 100 years old, with aging electrical, plumbing and heating systems.

Tri-Cities Chaplaincy and Horse Heaven Hills Pet Urgent Care are offering a pet loss grief support group on Dec. 13.

The 3 Rivers Community Foundation distributed the grants to several nonprofits Nov. 30 during its Celebration of Philanthropy event at the Red Lion Columbia Center in Kennewick.
