The Kalispel Tribe of Indians from Washington State recently donated $42,000 to several local non-profit organizations in Spokane and Pend Oreille Counties, including Planned Parenthood, Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery, the Alzheimer’s Association, Maddie’s Place, and the American Legion in Cusick.
The tribe also donated gifts to children in need and money to team members experiencing difficult circumstances, with additional gifts totaling more than $16,000.
“The holiday season has always been a special time of year for the Kalispel Tribe,” Kalispel Casino & Government Affairs Vice Chairman of Tribal Council and Executive Director Curt Holmes said in a statement. “Many of us grew up in poverty, and we know what it’s like to struggle.
