We Have Lift Off

On the same day the very first Boeing Dreamliner took off from an airport in our home state of Washington, not too far away we had our on 'lift off' to celebrate.

Our own tireless Katrina Dohn (photo on left), who leads our operation in the Seatac/Tukwila areas received some wonderful news from the Fellowship Bible Church. The church leaders have approved an offer to Kids Without Borders to use, free of charge, part of the church facility as our future operation center serving the south Seattle/King County communities. This is most welcome news to us, since we can now save rental expenses for the current storage that the south operation is using. The future operation center will be eventually built and equipped to better serve our programs and projects.

We launched the south operation center only four months ago and it has made great impact in the surrounding communities. Under the leadership of Katrina (teacher for the Tukwila School District) we now have a strong network of school teachers, counselors, and parents, helping us reach out to children and families with needs as well as children who want to volunteer. Our Hand Me Up program has distributed thousands of brand new children's products (clothes, footwear, toys, ...)in only a few months since this operation center opened. Kids Without Borders (represented by Katrina) was invited to a city council meeting of the City of Tukwila in November to make a special presentation on the work we do.

We still have quite a way to go before we can move to the new location. We need volunteers and materials to renovate the space. We also need shelves and storage bins. If you want to donate your time and money to support our work, please contact us or make your donation online from our website.

THANK YOU Katrina and her team (Verna and Tracy), and many volunteers, donors, and supporters.
