šŸŽƒ If you could be any Halloween character for a day, who would you choose and why?
šŸŽƒWould you rather spend a night in a haunted mansion or get lost in a giant corn maze?
šŸŽƒWhat’s your favorite fall tradition — and is there one you’d like to start this year?

šŸ“£An Important Message about our FuturešŸ“£

Dear Friends,

For many years, our building in Columbia City has been more than just a space. It has been a home for our mission and a source of countless memories and milestones. We are deeply grateful for all the ways you have supported us within these walls.

Today, we want to share an important update: after much thoughtful consideration, the Board of Directors and Executive Director have made the decision to sell our building. This was not an easy decision, but it is one that will allow us to strengthen our organization’s long-term financial health and ensure that we can continue serving our community for many years to come.

By taking this step, we are positioning Southeast Youth and Family Services to focus more of our resources on what matters most making sure our programs, our people, and our mission are supporting families for years to come. While the building has been a beloved part of our story, we know that our true strength lies in the relationships, impact, and shared vision we carry forward together.

We remain committed to serving the families of south Seattle and greater King County. This transition will not change our dedication to the community it will allow us to continue it with even greater stability and purpose.

As we move forward, we invite you to stay connected with us. Your continued support, whether through volunteering, donations, advocacy, or simply sharing our story will help ensure that the next chapter of Southeast Youth and Family Services is even stronger than the last. We know many of you have hoped to visit the building, and we don’t want you to miss that chance. Soon, we’ll share details about a final tour and a celebratory send-off opportunity to honor our time here together.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us. We are proud of what we have built together, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you.

With gratitude and hope,

Executive Director Board of Directors
