Bank holding CCI fundraiser today
Now, thanks to a fundraiser where the Northwest Chapter of Canine Companions for Independence is teaming up with the two local Mountain West Bank branches, you can make sure miniature Kens — each with a personalized vest with Ken's name on it — head home with victims of child abuse.

Ken, Bonner County's courthouse dog will be on hand at the Ponderay branch of Mountain West Bank from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. today as part of a fundraiser for the LillyBrooke Family Justice Center in Sandpoint.
Early this summer, the bank completed a fundraiser for the center and generated over $3,000 from customers and employees. As a result, Canine Companions was able to purchase small stuffed dogs for LillyBrooke Family Justice Center here in Sandpoint to use to comfort children going through the justice system.
LillyBrooke provides free services for victims of child abuse, sexual assault, human trafficking, elder abuse and domestic violence through a partnership with law enforcement, legal services, and partner social service agencies.
