It is hard to believe we are coming down to the last week of the Building Brighter Futures Together campaign with Haggen . There is still time to support CYS at the register when you stop by the Olympia Haggen.

Thank you Haggen ❤️

💫 Every young person deserves a safe place to land and the support they need to thrive. That's the mission behind Community Youth Services and with your help, we can make an even bigger difference. Stop by any Haggen store through June 2 to make a donation to our Building Brighter Futures Together campaign and show your support.

Community Youth Services empowers youth and their families across our community to meet their goals for safety, stability, belonging, and success through individualized services and advocacy. Funds raised will go toward providing food for youth and young adults at Rosie's Place Young Adult Shelter and Outreach Center—a vital resource offering overnight shelter, day-time case management, mental health support, and street outreach for those without safe and stable housing.

"Haggen's partnership helps us address basic needs for youth without safe and stable housing. When young people have access to food they gain the stability needed to focus on their health, education, and future goals." — Victoria Wortberg, Community Engagement Director, Community Youth Services

We had such an amazing night with you all at Have a Heart 💞

Thank you for showing up and bringing your caring and compassionate selves.

As requested, the answers to the trivia questions are on our website! https://communityyouthservices.org/haveaheart/

I know the biggest shock was the tie-breaker question asking, how many miles did CYS staff drive in 2025 to provide services to young people in the community?

The answer is 222,110 miles, how close was your guess?

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰! 💞

We are full of energy and excitement for the evening.

Jose Luis Pineda will be joining us as our MC for the evening. He’s been bringing energy to events across our community for more than 20 years and we’re really glad he’ll be part of the night.

He’ll be leading two fun rounds of trivia at the start of the evening.

We’ll also take some time to share what this work looks like in real life and reflect on what it makes possible.

If you have been thinking of getting a ticket, there are still some available.
Come join us. https://communityyouthservices.org/haveaheart/
