If solutions were easy to come by, then our region’s troubles would be fleeting. But even as economic conditions continue to improve across the Pacific Northwest, many among us are chronically left behind or teetering on the brink of it. As we’ve seen throughout the region, homelessness is affecting so many members of our community and the need for support are the greatest for individuals and families at risk and policy advocates who are working hard to create meaningful change. That’s why GeekWire, Bank of America and Seattle Foundation are collaborating with five local nonprofits through Geeks Give Back to deliver resources and solutions that will make the Puget Sound more inclusive and accessible for everyone in our community. Join us in making an impact.
