HOW WSAFE OPPERATES
Volunteers
WSAFE currently has a great group of people helping to meet the needs of students. WSAFE is still in need of gathering more volunteers who want to help with events, committees or fundraising. We need people who just want to help with simple tasks like networking or planning single events & people who want to be apart of everyday activities. Your time is important and matters.
Fundraising
WSAFE is working on fundraising efforts currently. We need money and resources that we can direct to students and families. Any money donations or items for fundraising purposes like gift cards or prizes to offer at fundraisers would greatly be appreciated. We have Venmo and PayPal account. We are 501c Approved so receipts for donations can be offered.
Outreach
WSAFE has appeared at many school events and community events. Many of our referrals will come from FCRC but we don’t want any needs gaps in our community. Please let us know if you see a need or want to nominate a family. We currently have an application for students families and teachers to use to apply for help or grants.
FCRC- Family Community Resource Center
Our Partners at Washougal School District FCRC are doing phenomenal work supporting students with the resources they have available. Assisting in food, clothing and school supply needs. These ladies see many needs beyond their reach or available resources. These needs sparked the start of W.S.A.F.E. to help meet those community necessities.

If students feel ownership of available funding we hope they will more likely utilize WSAFE to it’s full benefits.
