Due to severe cold weather, King County Regional Housing Authority has activated response protocols. If you are in need of a warm shelter during these next few days, please click the link in this post for available shelters within King County (https://kcrha.org/cold-weather-shelter-dec-14-22/). There are both daytime warming centers and overnight shelters for those in need, please reach out and ask for help. If you are a family with children, please call 206.245.1026 to be connected with a shelter bed and a ride to that location.
For those of you who would like to support and donate to those experiencing homelessness, check with your local service provider to see the most current need within your community. Not everyone has a village, so if you see something, do something: lets give our best together!
"The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway." - Mother Teresa

Giving Tuesday: What a blessing it is to give!

The beauty of giving is that it doesn't have to look one way. Whatever your version of giving is, we ask that you feel emboldened to give as you feel called. Offer a word of encouragement, volunteer at a local non profit, give a financial donation or pay it forward in the Starbucks line. We want to be the change we wish to see in this world, and it begins with you and me.

As winter has approached quickly, we find that we are in desperate need of new men's items. Warm clothing such as: jackets, sweaters, shoes, blankets, hand warmers, socks and all of the other cold weather items that make a huge impact for those that are unsheltered and residing in their vehicles. While we happily accept accept used items on a regular basis, we are specifically asking for new items this time, as our hope and goal is to restore dignity and sense of worth.

We have been graciously gifted new women's clothing by one of our partners EverEve but have not been so fortunate in items for our male demographic. As we are one week away from our annual Thanksgiving Event, we have decided to gift clothing sooner this season rather than later as the need is significant and the weather only continues to drop in temperature. We are asking our generous community once again to come through in the form of new winter items in all sizes and shapes for those in the community who do not have the privilege of a warm environment. If you are unable to support us with tangible items, gift cards to Costco, Fred Meyer, Walmart, Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshals and other clothing stores are greatly appreciated as well!

We have seen time and time again just how amazing and caring you all are and we are hopeful that we can come together to provide this need. Anything and everything helps and there is no such thing as a small gift or donation. We want to thank you for all of your support and are looking forward to our continued work together!

-Thoughtful Tuesday-
Today we want to recognize that life is hard. We experience everyday stressors, fatigue, pain, grief and at many times burnout. While self care is important for our overall well being, caring for and being cared for by others is crucial to our survival. The word Community in You Belong Community is there not because it sounded good, but because we know that without a community, without a support system and without a shared responsibility to one another we simply will not make it successfully. We want to be the change we wish to see in the world. SPEAK UP and LEAN on your community when you are down and STEP IN and LIFT UP those in your community when they are down. IT TAKES A VILLAGE and today we are grateful for those apart of ours and we choose to spread love and kindness not only to ourselves but to those who belong to our community.

THANKFUL THURSDAY! Today we are thankful for our teammate “V”! Not only has she been faithful in serving consistently here at YBC but she also does it with the most joyous and loving attitude! We have been blessed beyond belief with V’s laughter, creativity and generosity. We want to say a big thank you and wish her the best of luck as she transitions into her next season at University! YBC would not look the same (literally her creative eye for things has made the space look so beautiful!). We can’t wait to hear of all the amazing things you’ll do and the lives you’ll touch through your passions and gifting, good luck and have fun!

Fruitful Friday! Today we are celebrating a housing success, WOOT WOOT!
One of our YBC'ers recently received their brand new keys to their brand new apartment and we couldn't be any happier for them! This was truly a beautiful example of community and togetherness to experience and be apart of. YBC as well as 5 other community organizations were able to come alongside this client in order to provide them with the right support and advocacy that they so rightfully deserved! We love to see it and we can't wait to see it more, happy Fruitful Friday everyone!

Donations! Donations! Donations! YBC is still serving young families which is only possible because of you all in our caring community, thank you so very much! We are asking you all to come together again for two families in need of baby items. One is an alumni of YBC who got into housing last year 🎉, and is due with her 4th kiddo in two weeks. This mama works full time and takes care of her 3 littles as a single mom, because of her busy schedule she reached out to us asking for all things newborn baby boy and I know we can come through for her! Our second family just moved into housing after residing in their vehicle and are in need of diapers (size 4&5) and wipes. Thank you all in advance for your generosity and support, it makes a difference and we couldn’t do it without YOU!
