— from Emilie Gincig for Funhouse —
As we navigate these difficult and unprecedented times together, I am beyond grateful for the resilience and generosity of our community. We hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. If there is any way we can support you, or your family, please get in touch with us and know we are here for you. At this time, we are taking things day by day at The Funhouse, as we make decisions and find ways to continue to meet the urgent needs of youth in our community. If you have any ideas or suggestions please reach out to me.
We are excited to see you all in person soon. In the meantime, we’ve got something fun to look forward to: We are throwing a community celebration for our 20th anniversary on September 20!
Mark your calendars — it’s going to be fun!
Funhouse FunKits!
Just because we can’t see you in person doesn’t mean we can’t provide you with fun! Our staff has been busy putting together Funhouse FunKits for families to use at home! FunKits include age appropriate craft supplies, activities, and games for age groups 0-5, 6-12, and 13+. So far we have handed out kits to a total of 117 kids from 75 Orcas families! Thanks to everyone for your enthusiasm and participation. We still have some FunKits available. If you are interested in one, please contact Liz at liz@thefunhouse.org.
