Annual Literacy
Project
Each year, EWI of Spokane organizes
two reading/writing rallies. One is held at an area elementary
school, and the other is held at the Boys and Girls Club.
The purpose for the reading
rallies is to provide children with an opportunity to create
a story and write it in a book of their own making. In addition,
illustrators are on hand to help bring their stories to life
with simple pictures. The highlight of these events are the
authors who provide inspiration and real-life advice.
Educational
Scholarships
Each year, EWI of Spokane awards educational
scholarships to area high school juniors and to adult students
who are improving their lives with higher education. See our
Scholarships page for
the most current details.

events/organizations. Over the years, Chapter members have collected
donations for the YWCA Sister's Closet; food for area food banks;
donated Easter baskets for elderly persons; raised money for
the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life; donated books
to the Boys and Girls Club; donated latex gloves to the Women's
and Children's Free Restaurant; donated diapers and formula
