Camp Unity is taking part again in GiveBIG, the Seattle Foundation’s annual day of community giving! Camp Unity’s goal is to raise $35,000 for the essential needs described below. We are well on the way thanks to generous pledges totaling $7,500 from Bear Creek United Methodist Church, Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, Northshore Community Church, Overlake Christian Church, and St. Bartholomew’s Anglican Church.
Won’t you add your donation and help us reach our goal? Mark your calendar to schedule your donation at GiveBIG Camp Unity Eastside starting April 26 through May 9, 2018. Essential needs include:
- Sanitation (porta potties) and waste management (trash disposal) services, which are necessary for the safety of camp residents, visitors and hosts and are required by permits issued for the camp’s stay. We have a critical need for additional funding for these services starting in May 2018 with the camp’s move to the next host site, and
- Funds to purchase more all-season tents, heavy-duty tarps and to build additional tent platforms. This will allow us to replace the remaining one-season tents and lightweight tarps, provide tents and tarps for additional people who seek shelter at Camp Unity, and have enough tent platforms. Finally, we would like to equip all tents with cots and pillows so that residents can have a better night’s rest.
