The Community House On Broadway

What an incredible day yesterday at Community House on Broadway! 🎉

Yesterday we celebrated the grand opening of our brand-new playground generously donated by CORE Health 💙 Seeing kids laughing, playing, and simply getting to be kids made this day so special.

This playground is more than just swings and slides — it’s a safe place for joy, healing, and childhood memories for the many children who come through our shelter each year.

Thank you, CORE Health, for investing in our children and our community. And thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! ✨

On May 2nd, our community came together in such a powerful way for our 16th Annual Cares Campaign Dinner benefiting Community House on Broadway and Beth’s Place Youth Shelter. Together, we raised $168,000 at the dinner and are continuing toward our campaign goal of $500,000 by the end of July.

Every gift helps provide safe shelter, support, and hope for those who need it most. Thank you for believing in this mission and showing up with such generosity and compassion. Together, we are changing lives.

LONGVIEW, WASH - Emergency responders continue recovery and stabilization operations at Nippon Dynawave Packaging following Tuesday morning’s industrial incident involving the rupture of a tank containing white liquor at the facility located at 3401 Industrial Way.

Recovery efforts remain complex due to ongoing safety concerns at the site. While originally believed to contain approximately 80,000 gallons, officials now report the tank held approximately 900,000 gallons of white liquor. Longview Fire and Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue estimate roughly 90,000 gallons of material may remain inside the damaged tank.

Currently, the tank remains unstable, creating hazardous conditions for emergency personnel. Responders are continuing efforts to structurally reinforce and stabilize the site before additional recovery operations can safely proceed.

These conditions continue to impact portions of the facility and limit access to some areas of the site. Officials state there is currently no direct threat to the surrounding community.

Recovery operations remain focused on safely accessing all affected areas of the facility, recovering victims, and supporting impacted families, while ensuring the safety of emergency responders working within unstable conditions.

Emergency responders have confirmed:
• 10 individuals were transported to area hospitals:
o 8 employee injuries
o 1 firefighter injury
o 1 fatality

Officials can also confirm there are 9 employees who remain unaccounted for. All identified families have now been notified.

Numerous local, regional, and state agencies continue coordinating response and recovery operations alongside facility personnel.

State officials are planning a visit to the site. The site will continue to be monitored overnight, but recovery efforts will not resume until tomorrow due to ongoing safety concerns.

This is the final scheduled public update for today. Additional verified information will be released as it becomes available.

Maddie, a former resident of CHOB, has been giving back to the same community that once supported her.
This article was written during her time at CHOB, when she was given the opportunity to pick out a Christmas toy of her own. Today, Maddie carries that kindness forward by giving gifts to local children and helping create those same special moments for others.

What was once given to her has now become something she gives back.
