Spark Non-Profits

Mission Statement: Supporting caregivers through continuous training and a social network to develop children into loving, healthy, and responsible adults.

Our support group provides a place where caregivers can share personal stories, express emotions, and be heard in an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and encouragement. People are very often surprised when they attend a support group and realize others understand exactly what they are going through. This realization provides relief for many caregivers. TLC Association Inc is a mutual support group led by peers to provide encouragement, camaraderie, education, and a hug if needed. A fantastic benefit of a support group is that you not only help yourself, but you help others. Just as group members give you advice, support, and encouragement, you prove them the same. Being a caregiver can be difficult and stressful sometimes, but with a support group, you can feel heard and supported.

Thank you for your time. We hope to see you at the meeting.

We work on the street. We are addressing an unmet humanitarian need because we distribute socks, underwear, feminine hygiene items, and toiletries to people experiencing homelessness, people who have told us they do not have them and that they need them. We are enthusiastic about what we do. We provide hygiene items to about 1000 people annually who do not even have an extra pair of underwear.

Northwest Youth Services' mission is to affirm youth experience and autonomy as we work together to foster collective healing and justice in order to dismantle the systems of oppression that perpetuate youth homelessness.

We employ radical innovative services and care models that go beyond physical well-being to build social capital in partnership with young people, 13 to 24-year-olds experiencing homelessness or unstable housing. Our philosophy of care centers around three concepts: Learn, Create, and Connect.
