#ThrowbackThursday: Our Rainier Offices were festive last Saturday as we celebrated our families who are Home for the Holidays! About 40 families who have been served through our Community Services (Housing, ELC and ECTS) enjoyed pancakes, grilled cheese sandwiches, eggnog, and a hot cocoa bar. They had professional portraits taken, shopped in our free toy store and had packages wrapped by United Way of King County elves, played games, and had their faces painted by volunteers.
The party was conceived and hosted by our fabulous Housing Team! Funding came from members of our Board and Associate Board, and Starbucks. Volunteers included our Wellspring staff, Board Member Julissa McWashington and her daughters, our Associate Board, United Way volunteers, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, volunteer photographers and makeup artists, and friends and family members of our staff. It was a team effort – and we were rewarded by the joy on the faces of the children and parents who attended. Many thanks to all who helped make it happen!
