Donations from February 2016 Pet Food Drive

Thank you to everyone who donated pet food during our Pet Food Drive for the Humane Society of Southwest Washington for the February Community Event with Erin Wright Homes. Clients, friends, family, and myself were able to almost fill the back of my SUV with donations for the Humane Society. Donations consisted of both wet and dry cat and dog food. All donations were delivered directly to the Humane Society in the middle of February. The pet food that was donated will help the Humane Society care for the over 8,000 animals they care for each year.

Thank you again everyone!

Thank you to my clients and friends who helped make Tacos & Taps a Success in 2015! 

May 4, 2015 marked the 2nd Annual Tacos & Taps Event for the Clark County Food Bank. This year Tacos & Taps sold out weeks before the event and the night really delivered a great time with a meaningful message. Guests were able to enjoy creative tacos, great beer, and spectacular treats from local Vancouver venders all while touring the food  bank and enjoying live music. It is a great event to help promote local businesses, support the food bank, and allow our Clark County neighbors a chance to really see how the food bank runs and helps support the community.

The event this year raised $31,100 for the Food Bank, an increase of 39% from the previous year. Additionally, the event featured 5 local brewers, 8 local chefs, and 1 local baker.

I would like to give a special thanks to the people who made this event a huge success.

Tacos and Taps Night: A Huge Success

May 2, 2014 marked the First Annual Tacos and Taps Night benefiting the Clark County Food Bank.  It raised $22,467.00 for the food bank to continue their mission of Alleviating Hunger and Its Root Causes in Clark County, WA. The event was a fun night  with 240 attendees enjoying live music, delicious tacos, mouth watering desserts, and cold beer on tap. I was honored with the ability to serve on the planning committee. I can say without a doubt, the event was a huge success. I want to thank everyone who came out to support the food bank on May 2nd in various capacities.
