Group donates to Bonner Homeless Transitions

Bonner County Democrats celebrated a successful donation drive to benefit Bonner Homeless Transitions over the holidays, presenting $270 to organization representative Janet Pultorak at the January 7B Speaker Series. 

Bonner Homeless Transitions is a non-profit organization based in Bonner County that provides transitional housing to qualifying families. The group has provided nearly 11,000 bed-nights to families in Bonner County to date, especially serving children and families in need of housing. In addition to housing, the group provides training in useful skills and services to assist with job and permanent housing searches.

“We’re grateful for all the support we receive from Bonner County,” Pultorak said. “This is how we can continue to provide necessary and in some cases life-saving services, and we hope to be able to grow and expand those services with continued support from our wonderful community.”

Bonner County Democrats organized the donation drive by placing jars in local businesses, including Evans Brothers and Outdoor Experience. The group plans to make the drive an annual effort to support Bonner Homeless Transitions for the long term.

“It’s hard to think of a more worthy cause,” Larson, Bonner County Democrats chair, said. “This is a group providing real assistance to our neighbors, our friends, and our families right here in our community. This is incredibly important work, especially in the winter, and we’re just honored to be able to support it in whatever way we can.”
