2024 Know Your Nonprofits Expo

If you attended the Oct. 17 Know Your Nonprofits Expo in Siren, you had the opportunity to visit with more than 40 area nonprofits that welcomed the public and told their stories about helping our neighbors and doing good work in our communities. Displays and conversations included information on area food shelves, safe housing, and clothing distribution; student backpacks and school essentials; mental and physical health care; and services for infants, families, teens, and seniors. Attendees also played with kittens, learned about eagle and raptor rehabilitation, explored education and job training options, and were introduced to trishaw biking and pickleball activities. Co-hosted by the Northwest Alliance Community Foundation (NACF) and 100 Women Who Care Polk Burnett, with a generous sponsorship from the Webb Lake Community Club, the evening showcased a variety of support services and opportunities for volunteerism.
