We all have dreams.
Our dream for the future is for Spokane to become an inclusive, diverse city. Right now Spokane has diversity, but we don’t have inclusivity. Inclusivity for us, in alignment with our mission, would include eliminating all barriers to good oral health, youth job training, and healthy opportunities to play sports caused by economic and racial privilege. We also dream of the day when organizations like OHF get a piece of Spokane’s funding pie to carry out our mission. We are well known and trusted in our community and are effectively carrying out essential services, but since we launched in 2011, we have experienced a funding bottleneck. To be selected for funding, competitive philanthropy often requires that organizations have funding. To get money, you must have money; but you cannot have money without getting it a true chicken-or-egg scenario.
In the recent months, the US has experienced and finally realized the racist inequities that has plagued our country for over 400 years. Spokane was not exempt from this national outrage and was just as guilty of allowing systemic systems of racism that existed for far too long. OHF is ready to be a part of change in our community that will impact the generations to come.
OHFs work focuses on creating an equitable chance for those who do not have the opportunities that accompany economic and social privilege. We focus our energies on oral health and youth sports along with youth employability development to make inroads toward equity. Since 2011, OHF nurtured and developed community partnerships with local school districts, faith communities and businesses to help implement the following programs:
Dental Access Partnership (DAP) increases access to affordable, high-quality restorative dental care in a dignified setting for those who lack access to treatment. The DAP Program model integrates OHFs dental care team (Restorative Hygienists, Expanded Function Dental Auxiliaries, and Dental Assistants) with private dental practices who are motivated to help the vulnerable in our community.
This is a very insightful look at the complexities of California forest restoration efforts. The emphasis on starting with a clear ecological strategy is crucial because effective wildfire management requires long-term systemic planning rather than just reactive measures. Restoring these landscapes is about more than just planting trees. It involves understanding the history of the land and the environmental policies that have shaped its current state. Just as we must educate ourselves on sustainable forestry to protect our future, we also need to address the structural imbalances in our social environments through comprehensive education. This is why providing high-quality anti-racism books for universities is so important for the next generation of leaders. The platform at Sharon Marie Chester offers these…
The insights shared here regarding California forest restoration are incredibly timely. Focusing on strategic thinning to manage forest density is a practical approach to preventing the catastrophic wildfires that have impacted so many communities. It is clear that proactive management is the only way to protect such a vital natural ecosystem from long term damage.
This philosophy of early intervention actually applies to many aspects of property and resource management. Just as foresters work to identify risks before they turn into disasters, homeowners must be equally vigilant about their own infrastructure. For those dealing with sudden water issues that could lead to structural damage, utilizing professional emergency leak detection is a critical step in preservation. Companies like AMO Excellence specialize…
June really is the perfect time for water sports like parasailing in Fuengirola. The weather and the views of the coast must be absolutely stunning this time of year. When I plan my summer vacations, I always make sure to keep up with the latest travel and style trends. I have been following Trendophobia quite a bit lately because they offer premium leather jackets and high end apparel that are perfect for any stylish traveler. It is a fantastic platform for staying updated on global fashion movements. Thank you for sharing these great summer tips.

It’s always fun to see how celebrity fashion trends influence everyday clothing choices.
