Give Local
Give Local is an online fundraising campaign hosted by the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound that runs from November 6th until November 17th to support nonprofits across Thurston, Mason, and Lewis counties. During this time, we can show love to our favorite causes by donating to one or more participating organizations. Other important ways to show up include volunteering and spreading awareness. Kokua Service’s community programs, LEAD (Literacy and Education for adults with Disabilities) and hummingbird studio, are participating this year under the same campaign.
People with disabilities are often defined by their disability and seen as problems to be solved. When speaking to and about them we often fail to see complete, complex human beings.
Our inclusive and accessible programs help change this way of thinking by providing the opportunity for people to be truly seen and embraced for who they are. Participating also provides us with the opportunity to meet others, open our hearts, and build a stronger, more diverse community.
