Wine, Stein & Dine

It was the lucky 13th year for the Post Falls Education Foundation's signature fundraising event on March 7. Dozens of local restaurants, wineries and brewers donate their products to make for a unique evening of wining and dining for several hundred people at the Greyhound Park Event Center on the first Saturday of every March. A high quality silent auction raises additional funds. The beneficiaries of the event are the classrooms of School District 273, which in the past 12 years have directly received over $275,000 in grants. We give the PFEA an A+! *This fundraising event appeared on the North Idaho Community Charitable Events Calendar!

Feeling the Luv

Coeur d’Alene’s two Dutch Bros. Coffee drive-thru locations collected 1,861 lbs. of food for the Community Action Partnership Food Bank during its Feb. 13 and 14, “Dutch Luv Days” Cans for Coffee drive. Customers received a free drink of their choice with a donation of three canned goods or nonperishable food items, which are now being distributed throughout the community through the food bank’s various outreach programs.
