Three fantastic Eastside Youth Organizations receive “retired” vans
Over the past month, I had the opportunity to give back to three amazing District 6 youth organizations with the King County van donation program, which lets councilmembers donate retired but still useable vanpool vans to non-profits in our community:
-
Friends of Youth serves over 6,500 youth, young adults and their families each year. The organization operates facilities and programs at 26 sites in 18 cities across the Puget Sound region.
-
Tennis Outreach Programs, or TOPs, empowers youth for lifetime success, through tennis, education, fitness and character development, regardless of economic circumstance.

-
Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue will use its donated van to transport transporting youth from school to its clubhouses and field trips, as well as providing transportation to club members that live at five King County Housing Authority properties located in Bellevue.

All three organizations give Eastside youth and their families more tools and services to succeed and I’m so happy King County can assist by providing these vans, especially during the holiday season.
Know a deserving District 6 organization doing great work that could use a van to fulfill its mission in 2019? Let us know by contacting my office today!
