Project Homeless Connect + Collaboration for a Cause @ Fife Community Center
Tickets
Jun 24 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Associated Ministries and WorkForce Central are partnering with City of Fife to bring a joint event offering access to life-changing resources and services that meet crucial needs for those who are unhoused, with the ultimate goal of supporting individuals into stable housing and employment opportunities.

For people without stable housing, accessing simple necessities can take months and require multiple trips to locations throughout the area. Both Project Homeless Connect and Collaboration for a Cause events connect people to services and resources directly on-site which saves them time, travel costs and gives agencies the opportunity to interact directly with the unhoused. Over 50 service provider agencies will be on site, along with over 100 community volunteers.

In addition to housing assistance, 30 employers will be conducting onsite interviews for entry-level jobs. The event will also provide medical services, dental care, veterans’ services and benefits, career training information, free lunches, haircuts, showers and laundry services, giveaways, children’s activities and more.

Tickets
Sep 24 @ 10:00 am

Children’s Therapy Center’s 2nd annual Move-A-Thon from September 19-25 is an accessible community event that invites participants of all ages and abilities to roll, swim, skip rope–or do anything that joyfully moves them–to support children with special needs in our community.

Join us for the in-person event Saturday, September 24th at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood from 10-1 for a family event featuring food, entertainment including local musicians, Rhubarb the Tacoma Rainiers’ reindeer mascot, family resources, a morning loop around the lake and a performance by the Special Olympics Cheer Squad! Register at https://moveathon.ctckids.org/ !

CTC helps children with special needs reach their fullest potential through physical, occupational and speech therapy through in-home and center-based services in Kent, Burien, Tacoma and Maple Valley. Proceeds from the event will support uncompensated therapy services, education and family support for children with special needs whose families would otherwise be unable to cover the cost of care.

Central Puget Sound Water Stewards Training @ Zoom
Tickets
Oct 20 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm

Want to help keep Puget Sound clean, and encourage your neighbors to use fewer pesticides? We’re seeking Water Stewards from Central Puget Sound! If you live in King, Snohomish, Pierce or Kitsap County, do not use or have reduced your chemical pesticide use, and want to get others in your community to do the same to protect their health and the health of Puget Sound—we want you! Water stewards will be asked to participate in a 90 minute online Zoom training. For the next month after the training, water stewards will be expected to make contact with 10 community members via door-to-door canvassing, participation in community meetings or events.

Water stewards who attend the entire 90 minute training on October 20th will receive a $25 gift card of their choice to Starbucks, Fred Meyer, Speedway Gas, Chipotle, Petco or Dominos Pizza. Those who follow through with outreach over the next month with 10 community members will receive another $25 gift card of their choice from Starbucks, Fred Meyer, Speedway Gas, Chipotle, Petco or Dominos Pizza. Water stewards will also receive an NCAP shirt or beanie hat.

Blackberry Pull with Nisqually Land Trust @ Anderson Island Protected Area
Tickets
Dec 10 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

T?his winter we will be planting native trees and shrubs at our Anderson Island Protected Area. We need your help to remove invasive Himalayan blackberry to clear the site for planting.

This event requires you to drive your own vehicle onto the Anderson Island Ferry out of Steilacoom, WA (unless, of course, you happen to live close to or on Anderson Island). The ferry costs a little under $20 round trip for the driver and an average size vehicle (there is a senior discount).

Take the 8:20 ferry to Anderson Island. We will finish in time for you to take the 12:45PM return ferry. There are also 3:15PM and 4:25PM return ferries.

Once on the island, you will head to the worksite, following the directions sent to you via e-mail with your registration confirmation. The work site is a 10-minute drive from the ferry terminal.

Click the “Tickets” link to register through Eventbrite. You must register to receive directions to the worksite.

Work parties are rain or shine. Individual, pre-packaged, light snacks are provided. Minors are welcome provided they are accompanied by an adult.

Contact Emily at emily@nisquallylandtrust.org with any questions.
