Vanessa's Promise Tours
You're Invited! Come Experience our Mission at Work!
Twenty-five years ago, the founders of the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery made a promise that the Spokane community would have a place where children would be safe and protected during times of family turmoil or crisis. Today, Vanessa Behan provides 24-hour emergency care, parent education classes, a 24-hour crisis call-line, and basic essential among may other things to strengthen thousands of families in our community.
Now, the community has the opportunity to see first-hand how we are keeping children safe and making families stronger by attending a “Vanessa’s Promise” tour. The one-hour tours are generally offered the second Tuesday and fourth Wednesday of each month at 4:00 p.m.
“All our volunteers and nearly all of our funding come from right here in our community, and this facility truly belongs to them,” said Executive Director Amy Swanson. “We want these people to come here and see their support in action.”
Space for each tour is limited and reservations are required. Below is a schedule of our 2012 tours. Please call call 509.535.3155 or email
