From West Seattle Helpline executive director Tara Byrne:

Give the gift of warmth and light this year! We are holding our 14th annual fall fundraiser dinner event for West Seattle families that are facing a one-time emergency. Proceeds will be used to help families that have faced emergency situations with rent and utilities so that they may remain in their homes with heat and water. This mission becomes even more vital as the weather turns colder and the need is especially great this year. Please join us in supporting our fellow West Seattle neighbors that are facing hard times. Our fall fundraiser dinner will be held at the Duwamish Longhouse on Thursday, November 3rd, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Tickets are $100 and may be purchased by calling 206-932-2746.
