The award includes an initial donation of $5,000 for Family Justice Center Foundation which can be doubled to $10,000 just by having community supporters vote online.

Starting Monday, July 15, the Pacific Crest Services and Family Justice Center Foundation community story will be highlighted on the official Make More Happen microsite at www.agentgiving.com/Pacific-Crest-Services, where supporters can vote to help the team reach their donation goal. If the featured story receives at least 500 votes, the $5,000 donation will be raised to $10,000.

In 2023, the Nampa Family Justice Center provided 10,600 services which breaks down to 860 services per month. Also in 2023, the organization served an average of 130 new clients each month.

“We are honored and incredibly grateful for being awarded the 2024 Make More Happen Award so we can continue to help our community,” said Shawn Webb, president of Pacific Crest Services, Inc. “The Family Justice Center Foundation has had a significant impact in the Treasure Valley, and we are thrilled to double the donation with community support.”

Pacific Crest Services is dedicated to supporting organizations that support their community, especially one that helped an employee get out of a difficult and dangerous situation.

She attends monthly meetings on the first Thursday of each month, and each week she spends a few hours working as the bookkeeper for the nonprofit. Pacific Crest Services leadership supports the Nampa Family Justice Center by attending fundraisers including the most important, the Light in the Window Gala event which is held every March.
