OUR SERVICES
We offer essential services — food, shelter, warmth and financial tools — for neighbors in Seattle’s Central District to build stability and self-sufficiency.
Advocating for Equity Statewide
We bring people together through anti-poverty and anti-racist actions to create an equitable future. Our groundbreaking reports spur public dialogue and drive solutions.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Black lives, due to violence fueled by racism and the effects of COVID-19. We know long-standing institutional racism has negatively impacted our Black communities and we are calling for change, as well as stand in unity with those calling for change.
