“Young people and families trust us and know that when they come to us, they are safe and can share and talk with us. That trust we build with these families is something I will never underestimate for anything.”  

– Adam Dibba, Africans on the Eastside

“Leaders from the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) and Nourishing Networks met in Eastside Pathways Collaborative Action Network meetings. Then LWSD and Nourishing Networks organized food and donors in an effort to make change. LWSD then partnered with Kroger’s to obtain vouchers that families could use with their discretion to make sure their families had what they needed. All of these things were set into motion at an EP meeting.”  

– Catherine Cruz, Lake Washington School District

Making Lasting Change

“I have seen a big shift in the last 10 years of many East King County nonprofits having the mindset working together vs. staying in silos.  I have also seen an increase in Equity practices and courage to have Equity conversations around Race, Cultural, Gender Identity.  I attribute this to EP.”
