Advocating for others and shining a light in their dark and helping them find joy beyond their circumstances has been healing for me.

J

acci Humble is a wife and mother, a Christ-follower, and a nurse by profession and artist by hobby. She’s also Mrs. Pacific Northwest Universal 2021. The family moved from Jacci’s home state of Kentucky in the summer of 2012 and have since fallen in love with the culture, beauty and vibrancy of Sandpoint.

When she’s not serving in the busy ER, Jacci spends time with her family, creating art, and advocating for those affected by infertility and chronic, debilitating reproductive diseases.

Q. How did you get involved with the Mrs. Universal pageant system?

A. This year has certainly brought some struggles for many of us, with sicknesses and battling various challenges with this pandemic, and as a working emergency department nurse I found myself right on the frontline. Working in the environment that I do, I was anxious about the virus, what it would look like for our town, how it would affect my family and myself, and ultimately how it would impact this place we all call home.

I needed an outlet, a haven from days and hours spent in isolation with patients, and I needed, most of all, a light and something to look forward to. I needed a goal.

I have only competed in one pageant prior to this one several years ago and loved being able to meet other women whose goal is to empower and impact their communities for good. I figured this would be a good goal to set for myself in the future and something I could use my free time training for that would take my mind off all that has come along mentally and otherwise with this pandemic.

Q. What has been the most rewarding or exciting part of your Mrs. Universal experience?

A. For years I battled and struggled with infertility and a chronic, debilitating reproductive disease.

I have been hearing the Lord say for a few years now to “use your voice.” I only this year felt like

I walked into what that meant. Our voice, our truth, our history and story have influence and impact, and there is power in sharing our story with others.

This pageant system requires a platform, and what that means is that we spend our year advocating for a passion or organization and spreading awareness of that same passion with others. My platform is Infertility Awareness and Advocacy, as there is one in six women impacted by infertility, and one in 10 impacted by endometriosis. I am one in six and I am one in 10, and there is power in my story. I want to light the match that shines a light in the darkness of those that need hope and light in their own journey, and I want to be someone who shows support and inspiration to those currently in the battle. Advocating for others and standing up for them and beside them has by far been the most rewarding experience so far.

Q. What are you most passionate about, both in your free time and in your journey with Mrs. Universal?

A. Leaving a legacy of light and a trail of joy.

Someone once asked me what I wanted my legacy to be, and in the words of that Thomas Rhett song “Be the Light,” the lyrics “in a world full of hate be the light” came to mind. I want to leave a trail behind me of light and joy. Advocating for others and shining a light in their dark and helping them find joy beyond their circumstances has been healing for me. I am passionate about this legacy, and I want to pass it down to my children and so on. Joy is a choice and happiness is an emotion, and I am trying daily to choose joy on purpose.

Q. Are there any specific causes, charities or nonprofits that you are actively involved with?

A. I am an active board member of Life Choices Pregnancy Center, whose vision is to see women and families succeed no matter what their life circumstances are. I currently am working with other board members and am an auction committee member on our fall fundraiser. This year we are thinking outside the box and working on ways to raise money for the organization by doing the silent portion of the auction online and live streaming the live auction so those who wish not to come in person can still be a patron and participate.

The second nonprofit I serve on the board of directors for is IdaHope Families. On this board I am on the legislative committee and I edit and create, with the guidance and input of the executive director (Christine DeNova), the monthly newsletter. Finally, I am a member of the 101 Women organization in Sandpoint. This is a group of women who gather and unite with purpose to donate to a local organization a grant of $10,000 biannually.

Q. What has been a piece of advice or experience that you’ve carried with you and that has impacted your life for the better?

A. Being a truth teller and having compassionate open-ended communication with others has gotten me through so many life experiences.

Being a truth teller and being someone who keeps the line of conversation open with others is a compassionate tool that has really impacted the way I do my job, the way I parent, the way I am as a wife and a friend. It is embedded in my character, and I think that is the most valuable advice I can give. Be honest, in a compassionate way, and show up for others and listen.

EMBRACING THE POWER OF COMMUNITY TO HELP LIGHTEN THE LOAD B Y A B IG A I L T HO R P E

I

f you wander the Sagle Bike Path, as the path winds down by the water between the bridge and the dog beach, you’ll notice a stone bench—the perfect spot to stop and take in the view. This was one of Sandpoint local Kathy Pelland’s favorite spots, and the bench is in memory of her.

Kathy was killed tragically in 1997 on the long bridge at the hands of an oncoming drunk driver, and the bench is just one in a long line of legacies she left behind.

Hundreds of people came out for her memorial, and as people gathered and shared memories, one phrase was repeated again and again: “Kathy helped me when ….”

She had always given to others, regardless of time and circumstances.

It was Kathy’s memory that inspired a group of local individuals to live, laugh and lighten the load of others in the community, and so Angels Over Sandpoint was born.

Nine or 10 of Kathy’s friends got together and decided they would have a party to raise money for a memorial site for her. More money than was needed flowed in, so the group donated $3,000 in Kathy’s name to help finish the Sagle Bike Path.

“We decided, let’s just keep it going and see if we can do some more good things.

And now we’ve spent over $1 million in Bonner County for the community,” says founding member Carolyn Sorentino.

Since its founding, the Angel’s mission has been “to honor the memory of the Angels who have gone before us by helping those in need in our community.” And that’s exactly what they do. To raise money, the nonprofit hosts events, pairing their goal to help the community with their mission to bring people together.

“That’s what we do, have events, raise money, and then give it away,” laughs Sorentino, who’s been helping throw events and raise money now for around 23 years.

The Angel’s biggest fundraiser is The Follies each year—an adult-only variety show featuring local Sandpoint talent. The beloved and much anticipated event is essentially a burlesque show, featuring ridiculous acts, crazy outfits and often racy dialogue. But beneath its wild exterior, The Follies is the cornerstone of a wonderful cause. Every year it raises around $40,000 for the Angels Over Sandpoint to give back to those in need in the community.

Each December, the Angels get prim and proper and host a high tea, which is like the exact opposite of The Follies, smiles Sorentino. And then in recent years they started a Fun Run, inspired by the many Sandpointers who run so many local races throughout the year.

But this run has a twist. It is 0.08 miles long, and you have to eat a donut and drink a beer in the process. If you pay extra, the Angels will give you a ride around the course. You’ll even receive a T-shirt and medal at the end. This spoof run was incredibly popular last year, and the Angels were anticipating making it bigger and better this year, but the pandemic threw a wrench in their plans. Along with the high tea, the Angels were forced to cancel the Fun Run. COVID-19 has made it very hard for the Angels to raise money and give like they would in a normal year. Since most of their fundraising is centered around community events, all of the fundraising they typically do has gone by the wayside this year, explains Sorentino.

“So we’re just doing our best to do what we can, to help out where we can,” she adds.

They were able to do their annual back-to-school fundraiser, though they had to rethink how they did it a bit. They’re currently starting a letter writing campaign to raise more money to help pay for debt incurred by this year’s back-to-school costs, plus next year’s. They had more expenses than normal this year, and school supplies cost more. Still, they were able to serve about 1,000 kids in need of school supplies.

Each year the Angels use the funds they raise to help those in need in the community, whether it’s helping to pay a down payment, paying someone’s utility bill one month or helping veterans with expenses. They’ve helped a senior citizen get a sink for his kitchen before. Their goal? Figure out how to give their money away in the most effective way possible.

“Our philosophy for giving our money away is to give help to people that are not eligible for normal social services,” says Sorentino. There are a lot of people who don’t receive much help from social services, like single men and women, and often veterans. There are always unique situations where someone’s gotten behind and just needs a little help to pay their bills, and the Angels like to step in and help.

In the past, they used to vet people themselves to find those most in need.

But it’s gotten more and more difficult, and sadly it’s often too easy to get scammed. So the Angels now partner with Navigation Services, which is a state social services agency. “When they get somebody in Bonner County that needs help that they can’t pay for with their funds, they vet them for us, and then we pay for their help like rent and utilities,” explains Sorentino.

The Angels budget a certain amount of money every month to go toward those individuals or families Navigation Services sends their way. “Of course, our heart is [for] battered women and that situation, and so we give a monthly amount to Priest River Advocates so they can help people with certain things that cash is required for,” says Sorentino. “If someone runs out of their house in the middle of the night, they don’t [take] anything [with them]. We help Priest River Advocates help them out.”

The Angels also extend their funds to other nonprofits in the area, offering community grants each year to organizations like the Teen Center and others. Unfortunately, this year they were unable to do the community grants due to a lack of funds.

But the pandemic hasn’t stopped them from finding ways to help. They still plan to decorate a tree for Kinderhaven, and they assisted the current health crisis by making and giving away 1,500 masks locally.

Angels Over Sandpoint includes about 57 members currently. The organization is entirely volunteer based, including the board of directors.

Its overhead costs are only 1 percent—incredibly low for a nonprofit, which usually hovers around at least 15 percent or more, says Sorentino. This means almost all of the money they raise is going right back into the community.

“Our main mission is to bring the community together and to help people that fall through the cracks, and also to honor each other as friends and members of the Angels,” says Sorentino.

The Angels are always looking for donations, particularly this year as COVID-19 has significantly decreased fundraising opportunities and nonprofits are hurting. But even more so, the Angels are eager to have members join their ranks. “We’re always open for new members who want to be involved with helping people in the community,” says Sorentino.

Individuals can always volunteer for an event, but the best way to get involved is to join the Angels as a member. It’s only $20 to join for the year, and you get access to the newsletter to find out what’s going on and find ways you want to get involved. Volunteers are always needed.
