Share the Joy ! FUNdraiser and Community Dance for DESC


Share the Joy again!  We're celebrating big birthdays that end in "0" in the spirit of the Beloved Community on Sunday March 23 , with a fundraiser for DESC combined with a fabulous community dance! We'll have live music by the sizzling Bill Joe Show, a big, smooth wooden dance floor at the Kenmore Community Club, and a room full of great friends groovin' in support of ending homelessness. 

Details:
Sunday February 23 , 2020  4 - 7 pm  * $10 requested donation + a tip for the band
or donate online in advance and get in free!
7304 NE 175th St, Kenmore WA  98028

Want to join me in supporting this good cause? We're raising money for DESC and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps, on our way to a goal of $3,000. Thank you for your support. I've included information about DESC below. 

You can also give at the dance, if you prefer. All the expenses are covered, so every dollar goes straight to DESC! Need a gift suggestion? Make a donation in honor of a loved one, to help our homeless sisters and brothers find shelter and a real chance for a better life. 


DESC works to end the homelessness of vulnerable people, particularly those with serious mental and addictive illnesses. Through partnerships and an integrated array of comprehensive services, treatment and housing, we give people the opportunity to reach their highest potential. At DESC, uncommon efforts produce uncommon results that eliminate homelessness, one person at a time.

"There is another element that must be present in our struggle that then makes our resistance and nonviolence truly meaningful. That element is reconciliation. Our ultimate end must be the creation of the beloved community."
