We are a local non-profit dedicated to connecting displaced individuals and families in the LC-Valley (and beyond!) to essential resources.
Join us for our monthly community resource events held on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month. These gatherings provide valuable information, access to services, and opportunities for community connection.
We are also excited to announce that a resource booth in Pierce County is currently in development. Stay tuned for updates on its location and schedule.
