We keep it simple. The resources and supports that make life easier for so many of us are not always readily available for families experiencing homelessness. That’s why we believe in the importance of being a direct service provider meaning we have a personal relationship with each and every one of the families we serve and we take their needs seriously. Our emergency response team of volunteers will meet a family wherever they are at and deliver basic necessities in less than 48 hours. If a mother needs enough diapers to keep her baby warm and dry for more than a few days, we will get it to her no questions asked. No waitlist. No bureaucracy. No red tape. We try to help families with the basics, resources, and knowledge to feel empowered to take the next steps. Access to basic needs is a simple solution and it can change everything. When parents have their basic needs met, they are more likely to realize their potential, develop a sense of self-worth and support and nurture their children emotionally, economically, and socially. Having your basic needs met means hygiene, food, housing, employment, income, education, and health.

1) 1 paid staff - Executive Director to run the backend admin & operations 2) A hardworking Volunteer Coordinator who executes a solid volunteer recruitment & retention program 3) A very large volunteer team spanning two counties in Washington allowing us to leverage their skill sets and strengths to sustain our mission 4) Strong network of community partnerships who refer families to us to do our mission 5) Powerful marketing strategy with compelling storytelling and honest testimonials / visuals of the families we serve 6) A very philanthropic and social justice based Seattle community

Volunteers are essential to the work we do and the goals we want to achieve in our community. By recruiting and retaining a broad team of volunteers throughout Washington (via monthly in-person and virtual volunteer meetings), we're able to sustain our mission. We rarely lack for manpower and bandwidth as other nonprofits do in this space since volunteers are central to our mission.
