Tukwila Parks & Recreation has joined forces with the
Rotary Club of SeaTac-Tukwila for the 2024 Spirit of Giving
Campaign. Your monetary donations and/or donations of
toys, cozy items, hygiene essentials and gift cards will
help ensure a healthy, happy winter for Tukwila families
experiencing homelessness.
Last year we helped 430 children and their families with
$38,000 in donations from generous community partners
like you! This year, we expect the need to continue to
grow, and that's why we need your help!
Please make all donations on or before December 1,
2024. Thank you for your generosity!
How you can help:
V HOST a personalized event, such as Cozy Item Drive:
blankets, mittens, gloves, hats, scarves and socks.
V DONATE new, unwrapped items at the Tukwila
Community Center, such as grocery gift cards, Cozy
Items (see above), hygiene items, toys and board games,
and gift cards for teens.
MONETARY DONATIONS can be made through the
Rotary Club of SeaTac-Tukwila and allow us to customize
family care packages. (EIN 27-4432912)

Let's come together for high fives, laughs, and some old fashion restoration! This
event will focus on environmental education around healthy forests and rivers. Dig in
and help plant an understory bush or shrub that will become a safe place for urban
wildlife. Many hands make light work; join us for a day of fun!
No experience is necessary; all ages and identities are welcome. Tools, gloves, and
instructions will be provided. This event is rain or shine, but let's hope for shine!
