Universities Band Together After Wildfires | Spokane News
Description
When wildfires ripped through northern Spokane, destroying over 800 homes and burning 10,000 acres, two local Christian universities—Whitworth and Gonzaga—stepped up in a powerful display of community resilience. Gonzaga opened its campus to displaced Whitworth students and staff, offering beds, meals, supplies, and counseling. Faculty and staff alike opened their homes, evacuating with nothing but essentials. Professors lost everything—including their clothes and snacks—in a heartbreaking reminder of life’s fragility. Though the fires’ cause remains under investigation, both schools have launched relief funds and are confident classes will begin as scheduled. From prayers to donations, the outpouring of support from Spokane and beyond revealed an extraordinary spirit of unity in the face of disaster.
