Community's help assisted those in need

7B CAREs would like to extend an immense thank you to everyone who assisted with opening a warming shelter at Priest River Community Church during the extreme cold temperatures Bonner County experienced Jan. 11-14.

This warming shelter represented a cooperative interagency effort spearheaded by Priest River Community Church and supported by 7B CAREs, Civil Support Group and the Community Emergency Response Team in cooperation with Bonner County Emergency Management. 

Under the direction of Lori Holten, the shelter was manned by a team of 15 PRCC volunteers, and supported by another 15 volunteers from the other three groups.
