Executive Director's Message
February 11, 2010 Dear Friends, We want to express sincere appreciation to the community for supporting KITH with your time, talent and treasure. KITH ended 2009, with many blessings and much to be grateful for. We were able to serve 47 households, 137 people, with housing and/or case management services. Eight families moved from homelessness to permanent housing during the year. One family was able to become a homeowner through completing all the necessary requirements for Habitat For Humanity. During the Holidays 98 households, 460 people, received Thanksgiving meals, and 75 households, 291 people, received food and gifts for Christmas. Approximately 3,000 meals were served at Community Supper. KITH is a lean organization and depends heavily on our loyal volunteers. In 2009, 2,000 plus hours were donated to KITH. Thanks to the generosity of Ed Irwin donating his gently used office furniture, our offices have all new furniture. We also had several groups and individuals who painted our entire office and conference room. Painters: Padric McGowen, Kirkland Downtown Rotary, Journey Church, Master Builders Thank you so much, community support makes possible everything we do.
