Orcas Thrives Because of You
From homebuyer’s hope to rental relief, we weave a safety net for grief. Caregivers rest through Partners’ care, while parents learn with courage to share.
Health expands, connections grow— Indigenous wisdom helps us know. Waterways protected, books come home, pets find help; no one walks alone.
Fire volunteers suit up with pride, playgrounds echo childhood’s slide. Drivers learn, art finds its place, the Salish Sea dome lights every face.
Students dance and travel far, voices rise where choral harmonies are. Soccer kicks and 4-H leads, healing spaces meet our needs.
Apples grow with stories old, hatchery springs run safe and bold. Hearts beat strong on cardio bikes, theater warmth on winter nights.
Kingfisher rests in careful hands, tech skills spread across our lands. Wildlife van rolls island-wide— building dignity, side by side.
Every thread, a neighbor’s need, each GiveOrcas gift, a generous seed. Together strong, together true: Orcas thrives because of you.
Wishing you a fun and festive weekend!
