Thank you, Beach Cat Brewing: South Paw !!!

Our monthly Dolly Nights, hosted by Beach Cat Brewing South Paw every third Wednesday from 4-6 PM, have raised $1,042 over the past year to support our partnership with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library! That covers the cost of 400 books, or one year of monthly books for 33 kids! It's truly amazing what we can do for our community when we Live United.

Global Accessibility Awareness Day is a celebration of inclusivity and a reminder that our community is stronger when everyone has equal access to the support and opportunities they need to thrive. Today - and every day - we strive to embrace the unique talents and experiences of our friends and neighbors, foster understanding, and uplift each member of our community.

From the ALICE in Focus research, we know that 43% of people with disabilities in Washington are below the ALICE threshold. We're proud to support local organizations that work hard everyday to combat stigma and make community and opportunity accessible to everyone, such as Max Higbee Center, The ARC of Whatcom County, Whatcom Center for Early Learning, Work Opportunities, and more.

United is how we build brighter futures and stronger communities.
