Share the Care: Giving Back to Our Community🤍✏️

As part of her role as a Washington State Delegate, Lyra is finding ways to make a meaningful impact beyond the cooperative and give back to the communities we serve.

For her community project, she chose to support local students and families through a school drive. From October 5–16, community members can help by donating school supplies and ready-to-eat, nonperishable snacks.

📍 Drop-off locations include:
• Benton REA’s West Richland office: 2121 Cooperative Way, West Richland 99353
• Handford High School: 450 Hanford St, Richland WA 99354
• Libby Middle School: 3259 Belmont Blvd, West Richland WA 99353
• Enterprise Middle School: 5200 Paradise Way, West Richland WA 99353

Whether you donate a few school supplies or a favorite grab-and-go snack, your contribution can help a student feel prepared, supported, and cared for this school year.

We’re proud to support Lyra as she puts the cooperative spirit into action and creates an opportunity for our community to come together.

Let’s Share the Care and make a difference together! 🎒✨
