Spokane Mardi Bras – Transitions

There are more than 800 women experiencing homelessness in Spokane each day. Meeting their basic needs can be a struggle for Hope House, a program of Volunteers of America, and Transitions’ Women’s Hearth. Imagine not having access to bras, underwear and personal hygiene items due to poverty and homelessness. Mardi Bras aims to change that as a fundraiser for both Transitions and VOA. Please help us meet the basic needs of women experiencing homelessness at Hope House and Women’s Hearth.

Mardi Bras 2023 was a success! Thank you to all of our donors, volunteers, and supporters! Through your generous donations, we will be able to distribute bras, underwear, socks, tampons, and pads to more women in our community accessing resources at Hope House and Women’s Hearth.
