Anacortes Family Center
Anacortes Family Center
The Anacortes Family Center’s mission is to serve homeless women, children and families in crisis by providing shelter in addition to comprehensive transformational services to achieve long lasting personal success and self-sufficiency, and to prevent homelessness in our community through advocacy and by providing affordable housing options.
Anacortes Family Center works hand-in-hand with families and individuals to achieve this goal through emergency sheltering, caseworker services, and group and individual learning sessions. They help with “Rent Ready” training, resumé assistance, budgeting discussions, life skills classes, and more. In 2022, 84% of their clients graduated successfully, meaning they secured permanent, stable housing with an income to support their family.
Clear Lake Elementary VISIONS Program
Clear Lake Elementary VISIONS Program
VISIONS was originally started in 1991 by a dedicated teacher and a few parents looking to provide a different learning approach to their children's education. VISIONS integrates traditional curriculum with innovative approaches to serve diverse ways of learning. Yearly themes help students tie in their lessons around a common subject, like space, oceans, community, watershed, and sustainability.
Tokens will help purchase supplies and ingredients for the VISIONS monthly cooking classes!
