Every year the Historic Waterfront Association organizes our Community Care teams to gather everyday items for distribution to Island County residents in need. Those in need are our local seniors, disabled adults, children and those living homeless.
ALL items donated or purchased with donated funds go directly to Island County Human Services clients.
THIS YEAR – 2020 – due to an increase in vital needs Community Care will bring 3 deliveries to Health and Human Service. One each for October, November and December! Our first deliveries for October and November were received with great appreciation!
