On September 7, the Babb Fire swept across Whitman County. An estimated 80% of homes in Malden and nearly 75% of homes in Pine City were lost. As residents continue to rebuild from this tragedy, Innovia Foundation is excited to announce the launch of A Pine Creek Christmas: Celebrating Malden and Pine City to provide a brighter Christmas to the families of Malden and Pine City affected by the destructive September wildfires.
