whatisHOME?
“Home.”
It’s a word that can carry layered meanings for each of us. We’d like to share a beautiful reflection on the idea of HOME from our incredible Resource Navigator, Elena, who has recently completed her MSW practicum with us and who has offered SO MUCH support to our Window of Kindness community over the course of her time with us.
This month we hear from super volunteer Erin Bosik about what Home means to her:
"Home is the life and lives that make you feel your most supported and centered - the people, animals, hearts, minds, places and actions that make you feel whole and alive. It's so much more than just a place or a group of people. It's everything that grounds you..."

We would love to express our deepest gratitude to the South Lake Union location of Fresh Flours, and to their manager Mara, for putting together a canned goods and clothing drive for our Window of Kindness program!
Mara was initially introduced to the Window of Kindness while discussing homelessness with one of our volunteers. After that discussion, Mara was connected to the Community Programs Coordinator for the Window of Kindness, and immediately got to work collecting supplies from her customers! The drive is still ongoing, but has already collected several bags of clothing and a box full of canned goods.
We are consistently so amazed and grateful for the outpouring of love and support our community shares with us! YOU are the reason our programs are able to thrive!
