Alki United Church of Christ (Alki UCC) has joined St. Vincent de Paul and the Westside Interfaith Network (WIN) to support 13 Nicaraguan families resettling in White Center as recent immigrés to the United States. We welcome them to our larger community and hope to be instrumental in helping them thrive in their new homes.

With the school year imminent, children’s clothing donations are critically needed. We call on our generous neighbors to look through closets and bring clean, new-or-gently used children’s clothing to the August 15 drive, set for 11 am to 3 pm outside the church’s main entrance at 6115 SW Hinds.

As always, we welcome non-perishable food and hygiene items to be distributed through the White Center Food Bank. Until school lunches resume, many of our neighbors struggle with feeding their children over the summer. Suggestions include: aseptic and nut milks, cereal, peanut butter, tuna fish, pasta and sauces, canned soup, chili and beans (poptop preferred).

Donations of Men’s Casual/Work Clothes are also needed, as well as NEW socks — the clothing item most requested by our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
