Fund Spotlight
WASHINGTON FRUIT COMMUNITY CENTER
HELP US KEEP OUR COMMUNITY'S HEART BEATING For decades, the Washington Fruit Community Center has been a vital gathering place in northeast Yakima, serving seniors, children, and families across generations. Every day, we provide seniors with affordable lunches and activities, offer safe after-school care and summer programs for children, and host community events like salsa dancing, Taekwondo, and family nights. Thanks to the generosity of Washington Fruit & Produce Corporation and dedicated community donors, we've been able to enrich countless lives—but now we need your help to continue this important work. Without immediate support, we face closure. Your donation directly impacts real people in our community—helping a child attend summer camp, providing a senior with a hot meal and companionship, or ensuring families have a welcoming place to gather and grow together. Join us in keeping this treasured resource alive. Together, we can ensure the Washington Fruit Community Center continues serving Yakima for generations to come.
HARMAN SENIOR CENTER FUND
SUPPORT THE HEART OF SENIOR COMMUNITY – THE HARMAN CENTER Since 2004, the Harman Center has been more than just a building—it's where Yakima's seniors thrive. Every day, this vital hub buzzes with life as neighbors reconnect over line dancing, stay strong through Forever Fitness classes, create beautiful quilts, and share meals together. It's where seniors access affordable lunches, receive health screenings, learn to protect themselves from scams, and navigate Medicare with confidence. It's where loneliness is replaced by laughter, and isolation gives way to friendship. The Harman Foundation's generous gift gave our community this treasure. Now, it's our turn to protect it. Budget constraints threaten the programs that keep our seniors healthy, engaged, and connected. Your donation ensures that the quilting circles continue, the fitness classes keep moving, the educational seminars remain accessible, and beloved traditions like the Strawberry Social and Holiday Bazaar endure. When you give to the Harman Center, you're investing in the dignity, health, and joy of the seniors who built this community. They deserve a place to gather, grow, and belong—and with your help, they'll have it.
LIONS POOL FUND
HELP KEEP LIONS POOL AFLOAT – A COMMUNITY TREASURE SINCE 1973 For over 50 years, Lions Pool has been where Yakima learns to swim, heals, competes, and connects. It's where children conquer their fear of water, seniors find relief through gentle exercise, injured community members rebuild strength, and young athletes train for state championships. This isn't just about keeping a pool open—it's about preserving a lifeline that touches every generation in our community. In 1984, our community came together through donations and a voter-approved bond to make Lions Pool the year-round facility it is today. Now, we're asking you to carry that legacy forward. Your donation will ensure children continue learning life-saving swimming skills, provide accessible rehabilitation space for those in recovery, support our high school swim teams, and maintain a safe gathering place where families create lasting memories. Lions Pool has been here for us for half a century. Today, it needs us. Every dollar you give keeps the doors open, the water warm, and the opportunity alive.
