About Hands Across Spokane
Hands Across Spokane is an annual, citywide movement focused on bringing people together and strengthening connection across our community.
Each year, individuals, families, businesses, and organizations across Spokane take part in a shared effort to show up, connect, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
What began as a single moment has grown into an ongoing tradition rooted in visibility, participation, and community pride.
Bringing Spokane Together
It’s not just about showing up, it’s about taking part.
Hands Across Spokane is a community resource fair where local service organizations come together to connect with the community and share their services. But its more than a traditional resource fair. Hands Across Spokane is meant to be something people take part in, not just attend.
At the center of the event is a collective hand-holding moment, where participants join together across the space in a simple, unified act. It’s a visible expression of connection that turns a typical event into a shared experience.
Hands Across Spokane is free, open to the public, and welcomes all.
#HandsAcrossSpokane
Leading up to the event, Hands Across Spokane extends beyond a single location through a citywide social campaign.
Using the hashtag #HandsAcrossSpokane, individuals, organizations, and businesses are invited to share photos of themselves joining hands with the people around them.
These moments take place across Spokane, in workplaces, parks, schools, and neighborhoods, creating a visible thread of connection throughout the community.
From Hands Across the Falls to Hands Across Spokane
A reminder of Spokane’s willingness to stand together.
Before the pandemic, Community-Minded Enterprises' Hands Across the Falls brought people in recovery together in a powerful act of visibility. Members of the community lined the Monroe Street Bridge to say, “We are here. We matter. And recovery is possible.”
Hands Across Spokane honors the legacy of Hands Across the Falls by taking what began on the Monroe Street Bridge and bringing it into our neighborhoods, our businesses, our city streets, and beyond.
Community looks different for each of us. It might be the people we spend time with, the support we lean on, or the moments that bring us together. However it shows up, it plays a role in all of our lives.
When we stand for health, connection, and care, we make Spokane stronger, together.
