Check out some of the amazing groups and individuals supporting Friends of Youth in unique ways!  

Evergreen Health 

In April 2024, Evergreen Health Foundation held its annual gala and auction. As part of this event, they held a donation drive for Friends of Youth clients. Here’s a picture of the cool stuff distributed to our clients. What an incredible partnership between Evergreen Health and Friends of Youth!  

Windemere Group  

June 9, 2024, was Windemere Group’s annual Day of Caring and they really showed up for our residents at one of the homes within our Transitional Living Services. A group of 50 people beautified the backyard space by pressure washing, painting, planting, setting up new toys for the children, cleaning, and organizing.  

Washington State Association of Justice (WSAJ) Trial Lawyers Care Week 

The WSAJ Trial Lawyers Care Week, headed up by Tara Eubanks, organized and cleaned the garage spaces at our Totem Lake Transitional Living Services. They organized the garage, creating more space for clients’ belongings. Special thanks to Tara for encouraging Law partnerships around the Puget Sound to support Friends of Youth by volunteering, donating, and supporting!  

Bear Creek Methodist Church  

On Mother’s Day, over 40 self-care baskets were thoughtfully curated by members of Bear Creek Methodist Church. These baskets were provided to and appreciated by foster care parents and young parents receiving program services. Thank you, Bear Creek Methodist, for recognizing and celebrating our clients! 

Accents and Interiors 

Accents and Interiors, a design firm located on the Eastside, recently held a donation drive that collected clothes, hygiene products, and an assortment of items from our Amazon Wishlist. These donations were instantly sent to our programs, and we greatly appreciate them!

Special Shout Out to Lake Washington Transitional Academy students, Kate Crotwell, and Chong Vang for volunteering with us over the 2023-2024 school year! With their help and dedication, our donation space was kept clean, tidy, and organized over the past year.
