THANK YOU for $75k donated!

A resounding THANK YOU to everyone who joined us on Saturday for the culmination of our EF Hygiene Champions Summer Youth Program. This youth-led fundraiser secured over $75,000 to support the mission of Essentials First, empowering dignity daily through hygiene access!

We have so much gratitude to share -- to the donors whose generosity will echo through our communities empowering dignity for thousands of neighbors; to Essentials First Programs & Operations Manager Marryam Ali for coordinating the program and to the parent volunteers and EF staff who helped bring the vision to life; to our partners at the Together Center for hosting and the Rotary Club of Woodinville for sponsoring and pulling off a memorable Dessert Dash; to Washington State Representative Osman Salahuddin for sharing a powerful message and example to the youth; and to the Sheriff family for their ongoing stewardship of this movement to end hygiene poverty for good.

Most of all, thank you to the Hygiene Champions who planned and participated in every aspect of this event; we are beyond proud of these young leaders' creativity, passion, and perseverance - powerful reminders that our future is in capable hands.
