The programs below currently need the most support to ensure their success. Any gift will make an impact in our community.
The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign
The Salvation Army Red Kettles have been an American tradition since 1891, helping raise financial support for critical Salvation Army programs and services year round. Over the years, the Red Kettle Campaign has grown into one of the most recognizable and important charitable campaigns in the United States – providing toys for kids, coats for the homeless, food for the hungry and countless social service programs year-round.
Seattle White Center Community Center Scholarships
Every life deserves to shine. No one in need is turned away from the life-changing opportunities at The Seattle White Center Community Center through our Scholarship Program. The Seattle White Center is a safe haven for these children in one of Seattle’s poorest neighborhoods, and many of our families earn below the state of California's poverty line. 100% of the funds raised assists in providing our youth with spiritual, educational and athletic programs for those who need it most.
