Evergreen State Lights who are lighting our way — join us every WE CARE DAY, monthly on the 25th. One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.
These organizations are quietly doing the work of Matthew 25:40 in Washington — feeding the hungry, sheltering the stranger, lifting the fallen — and the important work of assisting those oppressed by life. It is a beautiful thing, responding to those in need as we are all commanded. They serve their neighbors. These are not just examples to follow — they would welcome your time and support of their mission.
Washington — Lights shining across the Evergreen State
Since 1932. 90+ years. 1,000+ meals every day. Shelter, recovery, women and family programs.
Farmworker healthcare, dental, behavioral health, and WIC in eastern Washington. The Hispanic community that feeds the region — served by people who see them.
Seattle's historic anchor mosque — one of the oldest in the Pacific Northwest. Community food programs, zakat distributions, refugee support. Sadaqah on Puget Sound for generations.
Statewide food security. Hundreds of partner agencies. No-judgment mission across Washington.
150,000+ people served every year. Homeless, refugee, food, mental health, domestic violence. Scale with heart.
Since 1892. 130 years of tikkun olam in the Emerald City. Counseling, food assistance, elder care, refugee resettlement — for anyone.
Since 1897. 125+ years. Veterinary hospital, pet food bank, cruelty investigation. The Pacific Northwest standard.
After the Oak Creek attack in 2012, Seattle Sikhs held a vigil and a langar. They fed people. That is the answer.
Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian communities running a day shelter for the homeless. Every faith. Every door. Every day. That is the whole TKM message in one building.
The 25th of every month is WE CARE DAY.
One day and one act of kindness shared among all of us — of all faiths and no faith. Do it because kindness feels good — and service to others increases your gratitude to God. It is a good thing.
Share your WE CARE DAY story — the one that made you feel good about doing it. Every little kindness helps. A compliment goes a long way. Jesus says don't tell anyone of your kindness, but we need your example so you only get to use your last name initial so you don't have to compromise your faith. Tell us — what made you feel good helping someone? Your story lights the way for others.
