Our Mission Statement

To empower and educate the homeless and hungry.

Total Progress

Nearly 5000 books have been collected from four book drives (See our Projects page for more details). We are currently working to send these books to various homeless shelters. While we have only distributed part of the book collection, these are the organizations that we have helped so far:

• Over 2000 books have been sent to Northshore Public School District and Seattle Public School District.
• Over 500 books have been sent to Operation Nightwatch, a Christian organization in Seattle that provides food, shelter, education, and religious support to the poor.
• Over 300 books have been sent to Overlake Hospital Medical Center, in Bellevue.
• Over 300 books were sent to Compass Housing Alliance (CHA), another shelter for the poor. 200 of these books were sent to their day center, and 150 to their permanent and transitional residences.
• Over 100 books have been given to Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing (KITH), a non-profit organization that provides housing for the poor in East King County.
• Over 100 books were given to Mary's Place, a shelter for homeless women.
