Feel like a little yard sale shopping this weekend? There will be a big one at 19th and Evergreen in Spokane Valley.

Proceeds from the sale will benefit the Inland Northwest Doula Network, an organization that helps parents locate doulas and other resources.

The sale takes place Friday and Saturday,  August 5 and 6, from 8am to 3pm.

The Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service, or SCRAPS, is so overwhelmed with cats and dogs, they need your help. The animal shelter received 23 animals Tuesday, many of them had ran away from their homes because of the Fourth of July fireworks. Some had to be transferred to a rescue facility on the west side of the state to make room in the Scraps facility. Scraps is offering a special on adult cats all week thru Saturday. Licenses are 15 dollars.

A little know fact about Spokane: the City is home to thousands of refugees from throughout the World, Burma, Napal, Sudan, Rwanda. And thanks to a non-profit organization called Global Neighborhood, these refugees are getting a leg up in their new home.

It's latest effort: a thrift store, dedicated to helping give these refugees jobs, a chance to make money and a chance to gain valuable work experience.
