FROM SERENA: Time to End End the Horror of Homelessness in Our City

Probably not haunted.

Dear friends,

All joking aside, one thing that haunts me not just at Halloween but all throughout the year is the knowledge that each night in our area more than 1,000 young people are without a warm, safe place to call home. And I am so proud of my company Windermere Real Estate for its dedication to help end this truly scary situation.

As part of its new #tacklehomelessness campaign with the Seattle Seahawks, the Windermere Foundation is donating $100 for every Seahawks home-game tackle during the 2016 season, raising $8,200 so far this season to provide essentials for homeless youth. On the receiving end is YouthCare, a Seattle-based non-profit organization that has been providing services and support to homeless youth for more than 40 years.

Also, just this week our local office, Windermere Real Estate Mount Baker hosted a fundraiser at The Royal Room in Columbia City with the proceeds benefiting South Seattle non-profits helping homeless children & families, including Rainier Valley Food Bank, Project Cool, Wellspring Family Services & more.

Finally, from now through Nov. 14, our office is also collecting new socks, hats, scarves and gloves for Youth Care, and we welcome your contributions. You can drop off donations at our office located at 4919 South Genesee.

Thank you so much for your support and please enjoy a safe and fun Halloween!

Sincerely,

Serena
