***There are so many worthy organizations, Wellspring among them. This organization has been in service to the Seattle community over 100 years. Wellspring Family Services recently announced the closure of its Early Learning Center- affecting 37 children- after losing more than $500,000 due to state budget cuts. For nearly four decades, the center provided free, high-quality, trauma-informed care that helped parents remain employed and work toward stability while overcoming homelessness and financial hardship. To learn more and to help, visit www.wellspringfs.org.
