It's Bingo time!!
Our Beach Bingo Party is our annual fundraiser and celebration where we bring the FUN! This year, we are moving to a new venue- The Ferndale Events Center- to amp up the fun, and we are adding fun features like a DJ and a round of music bingo to keep you on your toes.
Check out our Bingo Event Page for full details and to purchase tickets or make a donation. Every dollar raised benefits our programs and services.
This year, our event is sponsored by Phillips 66, Pro Fusion Web Solutions, and Fringe Brewing. Thank you to these generous donors!!
Hearts for Hygiene 2026 was a HUGE success!
We need your help to sort clothing!
Our community is incredibly generous, and we have received so many donations that we need your help! We host one-day sorting events to sort clothing seasonally so that we can focus on the items most needed right now. These events happen one Saturday per month from 10 am- 1 pm. Click here to sign up.
We also have a regular team that works Monday-Thursday mornings to sort, tag, and bag items for the Resource Center. Come sort one day per week or four- whatever your schedule allows. Visit our Volunteer With Us page for more information and to sign up.
Are you interested in supporting folks in our community who menstruate? Host a Period Party!
Every person with a uterus menstruates at some point in their lives, and menstrual products are some of the most expensive hygiene products out there! That’s why we include pads and tampons in our Other Bank program. Last year we gave away 13,612 maxi pads and 4,401 tampons, and this year we will likely double those numbers!
To help us keep up with the demand for these items, we are looking for volunteers to host a Period Party. Period Parties are opportunities for people to get together for some fun, and to donate period products that can be shared. They can take place at your favorite watering hole, or in your own home, and you can make is fancy (or not) as you want. Our last Period Party was held in a brewery and featured a custom art piece and a period trivia game. Attendees donated over 5,000 period products!
If hosting sounds like a fun way to support our work, please call Sara at 360-920-8152 to brainstorm!
