Katherine BourdonnayESL Program Manager
Tacoma Goodwill Industries
714 S. 27th St.
Tacoma, WA 98409
Tacoma Goodwill Industries employs a large number (64) of foreign-born workers. Most in the Tacoma area are from South Viet Nam and Cambodia. They are also students in Goodwill's ESL (English as a Second Language) Program. These workers are older and are first generation refugees to the U.S. They work extremely hard under difficult conditions. They stand 8 hours a day. In the winter, the production area where they work is very cold. It would be wonderful if I could give them newly made warm scarves to wear.

Mission Statement: The Mission of the Prince George Hospice Society is to enhance the quality of life and death of individuals experiencing progressive life threatening illness, and help people work thorough grief and loss by providing supportive programs and services.
Fleece socks in assorted sizes and fleece toques. The feet are the first part of the body to grow cold, often many days before the process of active dying, warm socks such as fleece would be most appreciated. Guests do not generally go out much in the winter, however, we have a beautiful patio that gets utilized in the spring, summer and fall. Toques are not something that many think to bring in with them and are often needed in order to be sitting outside and enjoying the sunshine.
Patterns:

Janus Youth Program
707 NE Couch St.
Portland, OR 97232-2922
503-233-6090 phone
Our clients, homeless youth, often sleep in doorways in the street at night. This is especially challenging in the winter time when it is so desperately cold out. Warm things like scarves, hats gloves and sweaters can make a significant difference. If you could consider homeless youth for one of your winter months that would be fantastic. These kids are much like any other, they just don't have families that care for them. It is very sad. Outside In is part of a tri agency continuum serving homeless youth. The place to make the donation would be through Janus Youth Programs, as they have a clothing distribution center for our clients as well as New Avenues for Youth, one of our continuum partners.
