Last Friday, we had the privilege of participating in the #MicrosoftRedmond5K. We didn’t let the rain get us down & had a great day telling people about the work of the KCLS Foundation and letting them know how they could be a part of it. Thank you Microsoft for having us!

Distribution of these kits is part of the KCLS Foundation-funded program, Supportive Services for People Experiencing Homelessness. Volunteers included KCLS Foundation Board Members, employees from Microsoft, BECU & New Horizon Credit Union, & KCLS staff members. Thank you all!

Last week, a group of volunteers gathered to assemble 500 Hygiene Kits! These hygiene kits will be distributed at libraries, shelters, day centers and tent encampments to people experiencing housing insecurity throughout King County.

There is approximately $230 billion sitting in Donor Advised Funds (DAFs), waiting to help the critical causes and missions of organizations, including the KCLS Foundation. Today is #DAFDay, the day we make that happen.
37% of DAF accounts go unused each year.

We can’t stop talking about the delicious meal and energizing conversations we had at last Tuesday’s Author Salon at TOMO. The plates were works of art and it was an evening that will not soon be forgotten.

There is only one more Author Salon this year that still has availability! Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy seasonal pasta dishes and wine pairings with acclaimed chef and cookbook author, Michela Tartaglia, at The Pantry while supporting libraries!

On Tuesday, 30 KCLS Foundation donors and friends gathered at Chef Brady Ishiwata's TOMO to party with a purpose. Guests enjoyed a fresh, family style American-Japanese fusion dinner, and a festive, and at times, feisty, author talk with Washington's own Jonathan Evison.
