Clarkston, WA — Clarkston FFA members are organizing a week-long donation drive to support the Asotin County Food Bank and Homes of Hope.

From November 17–22, CHS students will participate in daily competitions to collect nonperishable food items, personal care products, and Christmas gifts for local foster children ranging from newborn to age 17.

On Thursday, November 20, at 6 p.m., the chapter will host a community cornhole tournament. Admission is one canned food item, and all community members are welcome to participate.

The week will culminate with the main collection event on Saturday, November 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Clarkston Walmart, where FFA students will gather donations from the public.

The Clarkston FFA thanks the community for helping ensure local families have the support they need heading into the holiday season.

Good afternoon,

We are happy to be through the shutdown so we can again share newsworthy cases being handled by our office.  Since we were not able to share these during the shutdown, we have compiled group press releases on noteworthy cases with links to the full press releases if you would like to review additional details on any given case.  There are three categories of press releases highlighting a total of 19 separate cases/investigations: (1) Transnational Drug Trafficking and Weapons Offenses; (2) Violent Crime and Child Exploitation cases; and (3) Fraud, Waste and Abuse cases.  Like many federal employees across the Nation, the dedicated public servants at the United States Attorney’s Office continued to work without pay throughout the shutdown to ensure the ongoing protection of the community.  As these cases show, the USAO has continued to obtain excellent results that have kept people safe from drugs and guns, child exploitation, and fraud, among other offenses.  Please feel free to reach out with any questions.  Thank you.
