The idea for a First Responders Lunch was conceived by the son of one of the West Central Community Center's staff members.  His vision was to honor those who protect and serve the citizens of our community by providing lunch and recognition for all first responders.  He presented his idea to Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer, Police Chief Mark John, Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich, and Police Captain Tracie Meidl.  Their response was one of gratitude and enthusiasm!  In 2019 we hosted our inaugural First Responders Luncheon and it was a great success.

On Tuesday October 5, West Central Community Center will host our second First Responders Luncheon, honoring the brave women and men who serve in the Spokane Police Department, the Spokane Fire Department, and the County Sheriff's Office.  First Responders will be served lunch followed by a recognition ceremony.
