MIYFS NEEDS OUR HELP

Our Island’s families, businesses and nonprofit organizations are hurting. The COVID 19 pandemic will have lasting effects on our community for decades to come. Significant budget cuts, significantly limited Thrift Shop hours, reduced staff, and countless other challenges mean that our community must rally together. It’s time to Rise Up! for MIYFS. Mercer Island Youth and Family Services is our island’s sole, full-service social and human services provider. The MIYFS safety net assists those experiencing a crisis, as well as cultivates strength and resilience in our community. Only through the help of MIYFS’ largest fundraiser of the year can we ensure we have the resources we need to keep up with the rising demand for services.
