Thank you to the women of Faith Lutheran Church in Seattle who generously donate their beautifully crafted quilts to our programs. They have donated over 60 quilts in the last 12 months. These quilts are a great way to help make our clients feel at home and feel safe.

Thank you again, Faith Lutheran Church!

“Our client “Derek” has been joining us for our evening meal for more than ten years.

Recently, he lost his place at one of our partner organizations. So, once a bed became available, we quickly offered him space at our Julia’s Place shelter and advised him to meet with our case manager.

After many conversations, we discovered that all of his benefits, including medical, had stopped seven years ago because he did not sign a document correctly. As a result, he could not pay for his medication, and without it was unable to work. Our case manager helped him sign up for Social Security. For the first time in seven years, he had his medication and had money to buy food, and he cried tears of joy.

As his health improved, we discussed next steps and asked if he was interested in our senior housing program. He said he was thankful, but believed someone else needed it more than him. Finally, we convinced him to come and see the room. We took him on a tour, and when we opened the door to the room, he fell to his knees crying thankful tears. He recently moved into senior housing, and we all cried; so glad he found stability!

Even when it’s one out of one hundred guests - it gives us hope to see lives changed and hearts transformed.”

“In my work as the Volunteer Coordinator at Operation Nightwatch, I work with hundreds of volunteers to make sure that a hot meal for 150 people is prepared and served 365 days of the year. Most of the people coming in for a meal are either unhoused or unstably housed. Of course, feeding that many people each night takes lots of organization, communication, and training. It has also given me a glimpse of the many people who generously give of their time to make our nutritious evening meals a reality.

Picardo Farm & P-Patch is a local community farm that has been around since the 1970s. Recently, they reached out to us to create a partnership serving fresh produce to those on the streets who are part of the Nightwatch community through our meals program.”
