2022 Virtual Kitten Shower @ The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County
Mar 5 @ 11:00 am – 5:30 pm

We’re Expecting…Kittens!

Tiny kittens in need of special, around-the-clock care are arriving and will continue to arrive in huge numbers this spring season as the weather heats up. Caring for them is a unique challenge for our dedicated staff and fosters as there will be many that are orphaned and in immediate need of medical care, formula, baby bottles, heating pads and more.

To help care for kittens in need, the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is throwing a virtual Kitten Shower for the entire month of March!

Ignite: IN BETWEEN @ ALMA Tacoma
Mar 5 @ 1:00 pm

At DCFF, we aim to engage our community and ignite conversations that extend beyond the world of film. This year, in partnership with SHARE, Pongo Poetry Project, and Underground Writing, DCFF is honored a host to screening of the short film IN BETWEEN along with a conversation by community members involved in programs that support King and Pierce counties’ incarcerated and other underserved communities.

In addition to our in-person event, IN BETWEEN will be available to stream for free on our virtual cinema platform here. Written by a student in the Screenwriting Program at the Washington Corrections Center for Women, IN BETWEEN (directed by Lindy Boustedt) is based on a true story. Through the lens of a what-if.

It’s the late-1980s and Lisa, a biracial teenager having just moved to Seattle from London, is forced into a new world when she is segregated to a different school from her white sister. But when she meets a welcoming student at orientation, everything changes.
