Update: KIND Drive
On behalf of KIND Seattle and the unaccompanied immigrant youth and children we serve, a resounding "thank you" and "muchas gracias" for your generous donations! Your donations of backpacks, clothing, and other essential items will contribute to a new client "boutique" in our office, where young people can "shop" for items when they visit us. Your donated gift cards will provide our young clients with the ability to make their own purchases to meet their needs!
Thank you for the support and solidarity you have shown these young people through your donations, they have already made a significant impact!
