Happy Halloween!

The kids from our child care center trick-or-treated through our Vision House offices. They were so cute in their costumes! They even sang us a Halloween song. Check it out below!

Vision House Giving Trees

You can make Christmas a little brighter for a homeless family this year! Vision House Giving Trees are a great way to rally your co-workers, family, friends, and church family around a great cause. Sponsoring a Giving Tree is easy! Here’s how it works:

1. Contact Kristi Slattery at 425.228.6356 or kristis@vision-house.org and let her know you would like to sponsor a tree.

2. Kristi will arrange to have a Giving Tree delivered to your office or church towards the end of November.

3. People will take tags off the tree that describe a Vision House child or mom and their Christmas wish. They will then buy a gift card or give a financial gift and return it to the box under the tree.

4. Kristi will coordinate pick-up of the trees and gift cards just before Christmas.

5. Gift cards are provided to Vision House families to purchase specific items as needed and are also used throughout the year to support the children and mothers in our care. Trees will be claimed quickly, so call today to reserve yours!

Stanley Employees Give Back

On October 7, 2009 a volunteer group from Stanley Convergent Security Systems in Bellevue spent their morning giving back to their community at Vision House.  They helped improve our security system by installing cameras, painted our donation and resident store garages to protect clothing and other donations from moisture, and also helped spruce up the property by pulling weeds.  They made a substantial impact supporting our effort to maintain a safe and nurturing environment for our residents.  Thank you Erik Isakson, District General Manager, and Stanley employees for all your hard work!
