Alternative to Violence of the Palouse . . . Heart of the Arts, Inc . . . Palouse Habitat for Humanity . . . Latah County Human Rights Task Force . . . to name just a few.

  We prefer local donations knowing that 100% of the donation will go toward the purpose for which it was intended.

  We have, and always will encourage contributions to local entities (I dislike the word "charity").

  After all . . .
