While honoring two non-profits for their work during the winter, Mayor David Condon and Spokane Police Chief Craig Meidl reaffirmed their mission to stop panhandling, while they emphasized the importance of the city's Give Real Change program.
To date, the Give Real Change program has garnered $20,000 in donations for homeless services, Mayor David Condon said on Thursday.
It's been nearly seven months since the City of Spokane launched its "Give Real Change" campaign - encouraging people to give money to homeless services instead of panhandlers.
