Thanks to Starbucks for investing in kids

We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the staff and customers at the Starbucks store located at Marysville Gateway Center on 116th Street NE in Marysville.

Starbucks reached out to our agency with an offer to help support our foster care program by sponsoring a back-to-school drive to collect new school supplies for foster children. Thanks to their efforts we were able to give each child a backpack filled with necessary supplies at our annual Back-to-School Family Picnic.

Caring community is formed when businesses and agencies work together to support those whose needs are often overlooked or under-funded. We are sincerely grateful for the efforts made this summer by Starbucks to ensure children in need were well served.
