Girl Scouts build a Serenity Garden

Girl Scout Troop 1538 has spent the last several months planning and building an amazing, beautiful serenity garden. They built trellises, benches, a table, and even put in a water feature! Residents and staff will be able to use this garden for meetings, breaks, or just to escape and reflect. This wonderful group of girls from Newport High School put so much time and energy into this project. Thank you for such a thoughtful gift to our families and staff!

MBA and Centex

Master Builders Association has made a commitment to 100 service projects in 2009 for their centennial celebration. Vision House was honored to host a group of MBA employees and members who painted a unit to prepare for a new family that will be moving in later this week. Centex also partnered with this service project by filling the pantry with food and leaving a basket of hygiene items to welcome this family into their new home.

Youth for Christ is an Organization that inspires students to live out their faith and make a difference. City Serve, a local mission trip, was committed to serving the homeless, the hungry, and those in need in our community.

We were honored to host a group of wonderful, hardworking, and dedicated students from Snohomish Community Church over Memorial Day Weekend. They did a lot of weeding, landscaping, and began digging around our play set so that we can work to have it licensed for our child care center. Thank you so much Snohomish Community Church for all your hard work this weekend!!!

Kids shop for Mother's Day gifts!

Thanks to a large donation of items from a gift store that went out of business, the kids were able to shop (for free) for gifts for their moms for Mother's Day. We set up a mini store full of earrings, necklaces, candles, journals, perfume and more. The kids were so excited to pick out something special to give their moms this Mother's Day!
