What will you do with the extra day we all get this Leap Year, on Saturday, February 29, 2020?
The idea - - take part in Leap of Kindness Day and do something kind for a local non-profit.
To help you participate, we reached out to local nonprofits in the area and asked them for some ideas. While you can wait to deliver any items you might donate, we encourage everyone to start collection activities within your workplace or organization as soon as possible to maximize your participation and community impact.NON-PROFITS: Let us know what you need and we will share those needs out in the community.
BUSINESSES: Let us know what you will be doing to support a non-profit and we will share your good will.
Use the #LeapofKindnessDay to help spread the word.
We are also inviting our members and other local organizations to share with us their own creative ideas for participating in Leap of Kindness Day this year.

Issaquah Community Services: The blanket of white in December followed by the nonstop pattering of rain in February has left Issaquah Community Services facing a large increase in the number of residents in the Issaquah School District seeking emergency help with their rent and utilities. Similar to the situation we faced during the February 2019 snowstorm a number of residents at businesses shut down by the inclement weather could not work. In other cases, residents had to stay home with children that could not go to schools that were closed. The February sheets of rain and gusty winds have been particularly hard on apartment residents in the heart of Issaquah and many families have had to relocate to temporary locations while their homes are renovated. After a disappointing Merry Christmas Drive this year our funds are being hard hit by deserving clients who have never had to seek help before. Please consider sending a donation to Issaquah Community Services, PO Box 669, Issaquah, WA 98029 or donate on our website: issaquahcommunityservices.com Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank needs: toiletries, size 6 diapers and cleaning supplies |
