the heart of jubilee

Thursday, 29 September 2011 09:21

“Your presence is the heart of Jubilee Women’s Center.”

“I love watching you cook and that you share your recipes with us!”

“You allow me to get on my feet after some real curve balls in my life.”

“You are the people who really make humanity shine.”

-Jubilee residents thank volunteers

Residents and staff were excited to thank our volunteers at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Party held on September 8, 2011. Mother-son duo Amber and James Ferrese were honored as the 2011 Volunteers of the Year. Amber has volunteered for many years in various roles, including her current position as Breakfast Committee Co-Chair. Her dedication inspired her son last December when, as an 8th grader, James organized a Toilet Paper Mountain donation drive at St. Joseph School that donated over 7,000 rolls and added up to over $1,000 in savings for Jubilee. Both Amber and James are huge inspirations to many in the Jubilee community!

There are some exciting changes this year including hiring a new Volunteer Coordinator, Angie Muthee. With the assistance of 501 Commons and volunteers Lisa Hillis and Edgar Haimerl, we started a Volunteer Impact Assessment to help us measure and improve the volunteer program. By focusing on engaging a diverse range of skilled volunteers, we hope to better meet the needs of residents and other low-income women in our community.

jubilee supporters GiveBIG for community-wide giving challenge

Tuesday, 05 July 2011 16:05

Thanks to everyone for your support of Give BIG! The numbers have been tallied and together, with the support of our amazing community, $3.6 million was raised for local non-profits in one day!

Jubilee supporters donated over $9,000 to Jubilee in just 17 hours. The Seattle Foundation and local businesses donated a percentage of the total donations from the day to Jubilee, stretching our total donations from GiveBIG to almost $11,000! What a difference a day of giving can make!

Your gift to Jubilee will help homeless women on their path to gain and maintain housing, become employed, increase their income, upgrade their education or vocational skills and rebuild their lives.

Thank you for being a part of one of the biggest days of giving in King County history!
