Description of the Olympia Branch
The Olympia branch was created in mid-2020, where residents are battling the COVID-19 pandemic amidst other societal issues. Our mission is to take initiative and carry out projects and opportunities in order to give back to our community and to encourage our world to take initiative with us. Our focus is not only on larger cities but also on the surrounding lesser-known cities and towns of the midwestern Washington area. We plan on joining and hosting events stretching from the Tacoma and Olympia area to Central Washington, Wenatchee.
We want to efficiently contribute our efforts to do as much as we can to our society. We believe that any amount of time contributed is necessary for the benefit and health of our community. We are not only looking towards physical projects such as food drives and events, we are also looking to share our resources and encourage others online. As grateful contributors, we want to spread the joy of giving and volunteering to those around us by taking initiative. With our efforts and goals together as a community, we believe that we can progress together.
Join today to give back to our community!
