📚 Our #CaughtReadingWithCal book drive is live—help kids keep reading this summer. When school’s out, access to books can be limited—especially for children from lower-income families. Without regular reading, skills can slip, widening the reading gap. That’s why we’re partnering with Cal Raleigh and Communities in Schools to put books into the hands of local K–5 students before summer begins. 👉 Donate a book today—it takes just minutes: https://lnkd.in/g9UsgBMu 🗓️ Now through June 3

Wildfires are a growing reality across the Pacific Northwest; not just in remote forests, but in neighborhoods and along everyday routes we travel. The good news: reducing your risk doesn’t have to be complicated. Some of the most effective steps are straightforward and within reach. This year, our updated wildfire guidance focuses on three clear actions: Plan, Prepare, and Prevent. Small steps you can take now, before wildfire season ramps up and when conditions change quickly. https://lnkd.in/g9gsC5-J

Teachers shape individuals, communities, and future generations. At PEMCO, our connection to education is foundational—we were founded by a teacher, and that legacy continues through our ongoing support of educators across Washington. During Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re proud to partner with organizations like Cascade PBS, the Seattle Public Library, the Seattle Seahawks, and Cal Raleigh to support literacy and learning, while recognizing excellence through statewide educator and school leadership programs. Thank you to the educators whose impact extends far beyond the classroom. https://lnkd.in/gMuAAcAr

Life Insurance Day is a good opportunity to revisit a question many of us put off: How much life insurance do I actually need? A helpful way to think about it: What financial responsibilities would remain if you weren’t there (income, mortgage, debt)? Who depends on that support? How might those needs change over time? Life insurance isn’t static. Coverage can evolve with major life milestones—like paying off a home or raising kids. If you’ve been meaning to take a closer look, here’s a helpful starting point: https://lnkd.in/gMec5kT3
