In an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, we are shifting to no-contact gift card donation opportunities.
This last year has been hard on everyone, but our refugee and immigrant communities have had it harder than most. Out of the 4,800 West African immigrants and refugees we serve every year at West African Community Council, we estimate nearly half have lost their main source of income within the household since the spread of Covid-19. Times are extremely tough, and so we ask your help in supporting our community which is made up of inspired, determined individuals who have arrived in King County with the hope and dream of creating a better life!
In order to reduce stress in the families we serve, we are asking for gift-card donations redeemable for food and necessities. Our suggested donation is a $25 gift card (or cards) to stores such as Target, Walmart, and Safeway. These cards can be purchased online and sent directly to The West African Community Council at 6322 44th Ave S. Seattle, WA 98118 where they will be distributed to those who need it most.
