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!

Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism: Don't Forget to Vote!
The Senate race here in Washington is much closer than anyone thought it would be. Your vote always counts, but it especially counts when a race is tight. Mail your ballot or get it to a drop box today! Don’t wait till Nov. 7th!
Thanks to TBH Shoferim, we sent 300 postcards to infrequent voters in Florida, Virginia, Georgia, and Texas. Toddah rabbah to everyone who volunteered to do this. Research shows that one out of every four people who receive a postcard will vote. We may have helped to get 25 more people to the polls!
Want to do more before Election Day? You can still text messages to prospective voters via our partner, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and Reclaim our Vote.
