Our Commitment to Community
Giving Back Is What We Do!
For Windermere Professional Partners, giving back to the communities our REALTORS® live and work in is a top priority. Throughout the years, we’ve contributed to and supported several local organizations, giving both our time and money.
Local Organizations We Are Proud To Support
Many students and their families have a hard time accessing and navigating the maze of public and private services. There may be ample resources in a community, but rarely is there someone on the ground who is able to connect these resources with the schools and students that need them most.
Through a school-based coordinator, we bring community resources into schools to empower success for all students by removing barriers for students furthest from educational justice, keeping kids in schools and on the path to graduation and leveraging evidence, relationships and local resources to drive results.
Working directly in over 200 schools across Washington, our evidence-based model connects students to caring adults and community resources to transform how they see and experience the world around them. By surrounding them with a network of trust they can turn to no matter where they are in their journey, we empower students to confront and overcome personal challenges and structural barriers—so they can take charge of the future they want for themselves, their communities and each other.
Knock Knock Angels
How It Started
Knock Knock Angels was founded in California by Vickie Lobo.
Vickie is a survivor.
Every survivor experiences a moment when all they need is for someone to care enough to lend a helping hand.
After surviving cancer, Vickie's life changed. Her mission became service to her community, and her vision focused on encouraging the community to demonstrate caring and to love thy neighbor.
It wasn't long before Vickie's heart and steadfast love for the Lord called her to launch Knock Knock Angels to lift up survivors with a fresh start after traumatic events, including domestic violence, homelessness, neglect, and addiction.
Knock Knock Angels extends that helping hand, along with arms of love and caring to survivors when they need it most.
Skoolie Foundation's mission is rooted in compassion and dedicated to making a meaningful impact on our community. Through innovative programs, such as the Mobile Shelter program providing secure homes, the Skoolie Hygiene Haven offering dignified facilities for the homeless, and universal food assistance across all our endeavors, we address the fundamental needs of those we serve. Our commitment to inclusivity extends to creating safe spaces for women, children, the LGBTQIQQ community, and our honored veterans. At Skoolie Foundation, we envision a community where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered, fostering a future where homelessness is replaced with shelter, hunger with nourishment, and diversity is celebrated with unwavering respect.
Raising Girls
At Raising Girls, we are committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in everything we do. We believe that everyone deserves access to essential hygiene and period supplies, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances. We actively seek to serve and support all members of our community, including students and young adults from diverse racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds. We recognize and respect the unique challenges faced by individuals of different genders, sexual orientations, abilities, and ages.
Raising Girls addresses hygiene insecurity and period poverty by providing essential products to students and young adults in the Puget Sound area. As a trusted community resource, we partner with schools and local organizations to distribute care bags to those in need. We believe that timely and reliable access to hygiene and period supplies is vital for the health and well-being of our young people.
