Community Action Partnership — Local services in Coeur d'Alene

What an amazing experience. I have a rare illness and can no longer control my body temp. Because of this and night sweats (similar to cancer patients), I freeze at times when I sleep & then once cold, it's difficult to become warm. All week I was terrified & filled with anxiety because of my HUGE electric bill. Today I have a shut off notice from Avista so I called Community Action Agency in CdA, Idaho. The amount of compassion from Angie brought me to tears. It's more than obvious when someone loves their job; loves reaching out to assist those less fortunate. Our world is cray cray.

Thank you for what you do. If you ever need any volunteers to help please reach out to me because Id love to give back with my time. Forever grateful for the help...

This is one of the best food banks in the area and requires nothing more than your ID and that you live in Kootenai County.

Very friendly people, nice atmosphere. In the office, they offer free books for kids and adults, free coloring pages and often free crayons as well as other freebies occasionally.
