United Way Community Resource Exchange

At this years United Way Community Resource Exchange more than 400 volunteers and 100 service providers enabled more than 1,200 men, women and kids facing homelessness to receive the services they needed most. We were able to volunteer at United Way’s October 2012 Community Resource Exchange, handing out over 1,100 pairs of shoes and socks to those in need.

Volunteers from the Bacon Family Foundation handing out shoes to homeless individuals. Watch the story about the CRE shoe provider, Scott Sowle of Redeeming Soles.

The BFF partnered with Skyline Socks to donate more than 1,100 pairs of socks to homeless men, women, and children.

Hopelink Shelter Renovations

Special thanks goes out to Girls Giving Back for partnering with Bacon Family Foundation to renovate two units at Hopelink's transitional housing in Redmond this past Saturday.

Girls Giving Back had a big project of painting and completely furnishing a three bedroom apartment at the Hopelink Family Shelter in Redmond. Upon arriving at the shelter we noticed that another resident had moved out so there were two empty units instead of one. And so Girls Giving Back, along with the support of the Bacon Foundation took on the challenge. We painted and fully furnished (along with every household detail) both units that were open so that two families could move in to an inspirational, clean, loving space for their road to recovery and a bright future! It was 13 hours full of great people stepping up to make this day happen! Click here to enjoy the pics!
