Community support can take many forms, but sometimes it begins with something simple — making sure every family has access to basic necessities like clothing. Women United’s Hope’s Community Closet is a powerful example of what happens when compassion and community action come together. The program provides free new and gently used clothing for individuals and families , including everyday essentials, coats, shoes, and other seasonal items. Held every fourth Saturday of the month , Hope’s Community Closet serves families across Skyway, West Hill, Renton, and surrounding areas, offering a welcoming space where people can access what they need without barriers or judgment. Beyond clothing, the program represents something deeper — dignity, compassion, and community care. Volunteers and community partners come together to ensure that no one feels alone when facing difficult times. The photo above captures a moment of community participation and support for this meaningful project. Contributions like these help keep the closet stocked and ready to serve families who rely on it. Programs like Hope’s Community Closet remind us that when communities work together, hope becomes something tangible — something we can wear, share, and pass forward.
Community is about connection — and Women United Seattle is living proof of what happens when caring hearts and community action come together to lift one another up. Located in Skyway and West Hill, Women United provides critical support for kinship families , especially Black, African American, and BIPOC caregivers who are 55 years and older . Kinship caregivers often step into parenting roles unexpectedly, taking on the responsibility of raising grandchildren and other young relatives with little notice or support. Women United meets them where they are — with connection, resources, and a sense of belonging. Founded and led by Alesia Cannady, who started the organization in honor of her granddaughter — whom she is raising — Women United has been making a difference in Skyway since 2015 . Ms. Alesia brings her lived experience and deep community roots to programs that nurture families socially, emotionally, and practically. What Women United Offers: ✨ Kinship Support Groups — spaces where caregivers can share, learn, and grow together. ✨ Grandma’s Hands Art Therapy — creative healing for caregivers and kids. ✨ Love Train Block Party — a beloved annual community celebration. ✨ Hope’s Community Closet — a monthly event offering free clothing and household essentials. And Women United’s impact doesn’t stop there — Alesia also serves on the Skyway Community Advisory Committee , helping shape the future Skyway Community Center so it meets the needs of seniors and families alike. 👉 Everyone is invited to the next Hope’s Community Closet event on February 28, 12:30–5 p.m. at King County Fire District 20. Free clothing, shoes, household goods, and community support await! Read the full story here - https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WAKING/bulletins/407f253
