Three nonprofits, one mission: Joy for Bellevue children this holiday season
The holiday season should be a time full of joy, wonder, and connection. But for families struggling to make ends meet, it can be a time of worry and uncertainty.
This month, you can join Bellevue LifeSpring, Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue, and Rainier Athletes to ensure that Bellevue children from low-income households experience the warmth of the holiday season, just like their peers.
