As we head into June, our community is carrying heavy hearts.

This week’s tragedy at the Nippon plant has touched so many families, friends, coworkers, and neighbors throughout Cowlitz County and beyond. In times like these, we're reminded that our communities are at their best when they come together to support one another.

Along with our June Community Events Calendar, we're sharing information about upcoming fundraisers and support efforts for the families affected. For the latest list of fundraising events, meal trains, memorials, GoFundMe campaigns, and other ways to help, please visit local radio station's KLOG's page: https://www.facebook.com/kloghometeam.

A donation account has also been established through Lower Columbia Longshoremen's Federal Credit Union in Longview for those wishing to contribute.

As always, our calendar is a reflection of the many ways people connect and support one another. June brings:

• Pop-up vendor and farmer's markets throughout the county
• The start of outdoor concert and event season
• Runs, races, and sporting events
• Woodland Planters Days
• Community celebrations, classes, and family activities
• And much more

Many of these events are opportunities to gather, support local organizations and businesses, and spend time with neighbors and friends. This month, that sense of community feels especially important.

Please take a look through the calendar, support the causes and events that matter to you, and if you don't see an upcoming community event listed, feel free to share it in the comments so others can learn about it as well.
