SANDPOINT – The Community Resource EnVision Center (CREC) is honored to be recognized by the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce as the November Business of the Month. Since 2010, CREC has served as a guiding light for Bonner and Boundary counties—connecting those in need, those meeting needs, and everyone in between.

Through partnerships with over 350 local nonprofits and service providers, the EnVision Center helps individuals and families navigate the complex web of community resources, offering support for housing, transportation, utilities, employment, and more. This year, CREC continues to strengthen its impact through collaborative initiatives like the Festival of Trees, SPIN (Service Provider Information Network), and Live Give 7B, all aimed at building a stronger, more connected community.

“Our vision is to create a unified nonprofit and economic hub—an ecosystem where collaboration, innovation, and compassion come together to illuminate our community’s future,” said Executive Director Katie Begalke. “We’re grateful to the Chamber for recognizing this work and for celebrating the power of connection in our region.”
