WEST SEATTLE GIVING SPIRIT: 15 tireless nonprofits featured, and more ahead

If you’ve missed any of the stories in our West Seattle Giving Spirit series – 15 spotlighted since November 20 – we thought Christmas Day might be a chance to catch up. WSGS is a pilot project of the Learning Communities Foundation in partnership with WSB, offering local nonprofits the chance to reintroduce themselves, explaining what they do and how to support their work. via volunteering and/or monetary gifts. If you’re looking for something to read on this so-far-quiet holiday, here again are the links to the nonprofit spotlights published here on WSB so far – a chance to find out who they are and what they do, even if you aren’t able to do anything right now to support them:

    Agree – thank you WSB for the opportunity to highlight all the great local efforts to lend aid, build community and support our local cultural institutions. And thanks to all friends and neighbors for supporting!

    Big shout-out to Megan Cox who provided the gift of our WSGS logo design.  (You can find her art up at Capers in the Junction!!!)Every agency involved has been a delight to work with and a back-end example of leaning in with fun and grace for a first-time activity!  The Learning Communities Foundation has been so thrilled to be able to support this effort in partnership with the WSB!!  We are supporting our early learning program as well as a region-wide Family Support Fund with any final year-end giving.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
