Upcoming Events
Seeds of Hope

March 31, 2023
Each guest will receive one ticket for entry and lunch. We will be serving a variety of soups and bread. Inspired by Stone Soup, we invite you to join us and fill up!
The hour will be filled with stories of hope, laughter and maybe a few tears, as we celebrate triumphs and great work being done in our communities. This is a fundraiser and there will be an ask at the end of the event.
Pinwheels for Prevention

April 1 – 30, 2023
Join us throughout April as we recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month and be part of the Family Education & Support Service’s campaign to plant Pinwheels of Hope and grow a better tomorrow for children in Washington. Pinwheels of Hope Partners showcase the value of prevention by planting pinwheel gardens and sharing prevention messages with their community.
