Everyone deserves to be loved. 
Everyone deserves a life free from exploitation.

We exist to provide pathways to freedom, safety, and hope for victims of sex trafficking and people involved in the sex trade.  This means offering programs that are centered on the strengths, needs, and individual choices of each survivor we serve. In all of our programs, from crisis intervention through long term housing, we work with survivors to increase their safety and move toward healing, stability, and economic independence.

We protect and steward threatened farmland, and keep land in production by making it accessible to a new generation of farmers.

Local farms are essential to our daily lives. Investing in Washington farmland means healthy food for our children, thriving rural economies, and fertile, productive soil. Simply put: farms make our communities better.

But the future of farming is threatened. Over the last four decades, some of Washington’s best soils have been irreversibly lost to development. In the next ten years, 70% of local growers will retire without a successor in place, and new farmers face countless barriers to accessing land, from affordability to systemic racism and discrimination. As land prices skyrocket and climate change threatens our landscape, we are working to protect farmland, support farmers, and chart a new path for the future of farming in Washington State. 

We see farmland conservation at the nexus of many important issues, from rural economic development to local food production and climate change. By working in partnership to protect farmland and prioritizing the needs of local farmers and the community, we are creating a more sustainable and resilient future for our state.

We are a statewide organization, prioritizing farming communities based on a set of conservation criteria. We conduct technical mapping to understand where soil quality is highest, and use factors like development pressure and climate impacts to help us identify the most urgent threats to farmland. We typically protect farms in close proximity to one another in order to strengthen the fabric of the rural communities where we work. Threatened farmland sometimes needs direct intervention to ensure it stays available for future generations of farmers. We use tools in different combinations, depending on the context and needs of each specific project. Each tool ensures the permanent protection of farmland.

Through our Farm to Farmer program, we help farmers find the land opportunities they need to grow their businesses, and help landowners sell or lease their land to keep it in farming. We offer personalized technical assistance to current and aspiring farmers, farming and non-farming landowners, veterans, real estate agents, and organizations looking to expand their incubator or agricultural park programs, which are areas set aside specifically to encourage continued farming operations.

By protecting farmland forever, we are creating access and affordability for a new generation of farmers. By removing development potential from farmland, the purchase price becomes much more affordable — often by as much as 50%. With access to land being the number-one hurdle that new and beginning farmers face, we aim to address this barrier by protecting land and making connections to land opportunities through our Farm to Farmer program.

Land is the foundation of our food system. We need your support to sustain a future for farming in Washington before it’s too late. Join us.

Backpack Brigade ENDS weekend hunger by providing 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 3 dinners and 3 snacks to school kids in need. 

Backpack Brigade was founded in 2014, when volunteers were surprised to learn that a significant number of Seattle school children face hunger each weekend. Many displaced students rely solely on the free breakfasts and lunches they receive at school, so weekends and breaks leave them without a reliable source of food. 

Now, every Thursday during the school year, our volunteers pack bags of nutritious, easy-to-eat food and drop them at area K-12 schools, where they are distributed to students in need. Powered by volunteers and strengthened through donations and sponsors, Backpack Brigade aims to provide better food to more of Seattle’s hungry children each weekend.

We provide 3750 weekend hunger bags to students in 94 schools across King Co. in 4 school districts.  Seattle, Renton, Highline and Bellevue

We're a street outreach program 
and foster based dog rescue  dedicated to animal welfare 🐾 ❤️


"It's ironic that I started out on theses very streets in the 80s and was apart of a documentary about homeless youth, now here I am 32 years later helping those living in homelessness on the very streets that I began on long ago.

Seattle Dogs started in 2014, helping one dog at a time, one paw  with one bag of dog food one paw at a time we handed out pet food. After working hard to have it all midway through our lives we spiraled down the windy road to nowhere fast and as the world we'd  built with unwavering love, dealing with hardships, forging our happily ever afters, having beautiful moments with our 3 young grankids, enjoying our dogs, it all came crashing down, were we really at rock bottom? With the reality of losing our home in our faces we began to navigate homelessness with our 4 dogs  

 we understood the obstacles, needs and necessities of these dogs and their humans. We had no idea when we started this that we would grow into who we are today. We look forward to learning and growing as we navigate our way thru the need of the animals and their humans

Diagnosed with stage 4 liver disease I am truly living that country song "live like you were dying" by Tim McGraw, while surrounded by love I battle my illness and push to keep Seattle Dogs going,we have to stay open, we must keep going, it's keeping me alive, with this I ask you to please donate! With folded hands, head bowed, a partners support, beautiful friends that push me forward while still loving me at my worst, my  as grandaughter now a woman of 20 she is strong, standing beside me with all of this + amazing donors like you giving Seattle Dogs air to keep us going we've got what it takes to continue to keep moving forward, working together to save lives,

Thank you ❤️‍🩹

African Community Housing & Development's (ACHD) mission is to provide opportunities for African Diaspora immigrant and refugee communities, families, and individuals in King County to attain health and housing stability, economic development, high-quality education, and referrals to legal services. ACHD's talented team works toward a unified vision of an informed African immigrant and refugee community that is engaged in the holistic development of their families, communities, and environment.

Our work stretches across the State of Washington, and in 2022 we served over 9,000 individuals in 55 zip codes with our holistic services.

Housing & Social Services: Our first and most robust area of service, ACHD's Housing & Social Services Department ensures that families are safely housed in spaces that inspire growth. This department also encompasses our food access and basic needs program, sparked out of a need for fresh, healthy food and quality healthcare due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ACHD also provides a unique senior program that promotes the holistic wellbeing of our elders, while remaining culturally relevant and specific.

Economic Development: Our second area of service, ACHD's Economic Development Department works to support families as they strive towards prosperity. Workforce development, small business support, job placement, and continued education are all critical programs within this department. 

Education: Our third area of service, ACHD's Education Department prioritizes experiential and hands-on education for learners of all ages. Current programs bring elementary and middle school-aged students into our beautiful Washington environment for play-based learning through a lens of environmental justice.
